Since its establishment in 1998, the Perkins Institute has grown to become one of the nation’s leading adult medical research centres with a team of more than 450 research and clinical staff.
Non-Executive Chairman Geoff Baker said MACA’s relationship with the Perkins continues to strengthen.

MACA has continued its partnership with Murlpirrmarra Connection, a not-for-profit organisation that provides education and sustainable employment opportunities for Aboriginal youth in remote Western Australia communities.
The organisation is committed to ensuring each child is supported through their impressionable years and beyond, from education, community sports, and health programs, to wider family network assistance.
Since its establishment in 2010, the Murlpirrmarra Connection has assisted 128 students through primary and secondary school, tertiary studies, and early employment, with a 92% school attendance rate and one in five graduate success.
David Greig, Chief Executive Officer, said the program’s progression over the past 12 years has been inspiring and MACA is pleased to be a part of it.
“Indigenous diversity continues to be a focus for MACA. We are proud to be a long-term and foundational partner of the Murlpirrmarra Connection, as we continue to support their mission of increasing the numbers of Aboriginal people participating constructively in their homes and the wider community,” said David.
MACA is a proud partner of Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation (PCHF) supporting world-class health care for sick children and their families across Western Australia.
Since 1998, the Foundation has assisted Perth hospitals to conduct life-changing research, provide ongoing training for clinicians, and integrate advanced health care technology into everyday practice.
The MACA Paediatric Simulation Education Fellowship is the only program in WA that provides medical professionals the opportunity to improve their clinical practice, without risk, through realistic, high-pressure situations in a simulated environment. This helps doctors prepare for any possibility.
More recently, we have supported the Foundation in creating an intricate neonatal transport unit, fit with Criticool technology, to safely transport premature babies.
We know that the value of supporting children’s health from an early age is vital, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with the Foundation to improve the long-term health of our community.
Youth Focus delivers frontline services and education programs which aim to reduce symptoms associated with suicide, depression, anxiety and self-harm, and build long-term mental wellbeing to help young people reach their full potential.
Each Year, MACA is proud to be a team sponsor in the Hawaiian Ride for Youth, which is a 700km ride from Albany or Jurien Bay to Perth. In support of the Ride, MACA also hosts yearly Ride for Youth Breakfasts, which attracts over 400 guests and attendees.
On their journey, the riders stop at high schools to engage with students in the issues of youth suicide, depression and anxiety and offer the services of Youth Focus. The riders also have an opportunity to share their personal stories with the students.
The funds raised from the breakfast and event play a crucial role in helping young people receive vital mental health counselling, whilst at the same time raising community awareness of mental health and reducing its associated stigma.
2023 marks 10 years of support from MACA, raising over $1M since 2014. MACA remains the most consistent corporate supporter for this event.

Since 2021, MACA has partnered with CareerSeekers, a not-for-profit organisation that provides in-depth preparation and support to both refugees and people seeking asylum who are currently studying at university or looking to restart their professional career in Australia.
The partnership seeks to provide employment pathways for refugee university students and mid-career professionals to assist people, that would otherwise face barriers, break into their preferred industry and gain meaningful employment.
Since inception, the program has facilitated the placement of two undergraduate engineers to work on our major projects in Victoria.
Regional Manager Civil and Infrastructure (Victoria) Mark O’Reilly said MACA welcomes team players from diverse backgrounds with the right attitude.
“As part of the MACA team, the efforts and contributions of these individuals have positively affected our workplace, and their personal development through on-the-job training will bolster our capability into the future.
“Resourcing infrastructure projects in what appears to be an overstimulated market is a challenging prospect. Our emphasis on training and development enables us to effectively ‘grow our own’ resources to meet current market demands,” said Mark.
CareerSeekers continues to mentor and support participants for six months post-employment to ensure they thrive in their environment.
We are a proud partner of the SHINE Project, a multi-faceted education program that supports the social and emotional wellbeing of young women who are at risk of disengaging from mainstream education and society.

With the guidance of SHINE facilitators, participants improve confidence, set career goals, and learn fundamental life skills, including self-care and relationship building.
CEO David Greig said the program empowers students to positively change the trajectory of their lives.
“The difference the SHINE can make to these young girls’ lives and their futures within mainstream society is huge. We are proud to partner with an organisation that makes a real impact to the lives of youth in remote communities,” said David.
