ROMAC was proudly represented at the Rotary Multi-District Impact Summit at Horsham, Victoria, by Judi Brown, ROMAC Central Region Chair and District 9510 Chair, with support from Desley Beechey, District 9780 Chair.
The pair staffed an information table which provided Rotarians and community members with the opportunity to learn more about ROMAC’s vital work supporting children from Oceania in need of life‑changing medical care.

The three-day summit brought together Rotarians from Districts 9510, 9780 and 9800 with the aim of creating greater impact through combined efforts.
Discussions highlighted ROMAC’s core objectives including the delivery of the best possible medical care, strong engagement with Rotary clubs and communities, and a continued commitment to high‑quality governance and management to ensure safe and effective outcomes for every child supported.
The ROMAC information table also served as a reminder that the program’s success depends on the ongoing support of Rotary clubs.
Judi and Desley encouraged Rotary members to consider including ROMAC as a fundraising recipient as clubs plan their 2026-27 budgets.
They emphasised that even modest contributions, when combined across clubs and districts, can help transform the lives of children and families through ROMAC.
