THE PULSE
Where Pulse Goes
We aspire to work with our communities by supporting the people, the ideas and the innovations that will change lives.
Across Perth’s southern corridor, lives are transformed every day through care that heals, comforts and inspires.

Backing grassroots health initiatives — especially for vulnerable groups.
Community Health & Prevention
Supporting the wellbeing, leadership, and professional development of healthcare workers.
Workforce & Education
We don’t fund business-as-usual operations — we focus on high-impact, future-ready initiatives that would otherwise go unfunded.
Support
We fund bold ideas.
We back local research.
We support staff wellbeing.
How We Work With South Metropolitan Health Service
Pulse is an independent charity. While we partner closely with South Metropolitan Health Service (SMHS), we are governed separately and make our own funding decisions.
We align with SMHS-identified health priorities — funding research, equipment, innovation, and workforce wellbeing — but we focus on what philanthropy can uniquely unlock.
We fund what government can’t. That’s the power of Pulse — and our responsibility.
