About ROMAC

Rocelyn lives in a remote village and suffered from a facial tumour that, by the time she was referred to ROMAC and brought to Brisbane for life saving treatment, was an amazing two kilos! According to the doctors it would have killed her within weeks. She now lives a normal, happy life back home with her family.

Rocelyn is one of over 300 underprivileged children that ROMAC – Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children – has proudly changed and saved their lives. ROMAC is run entirely by volunteer Rotarians, compassionate surgeons always donate their expertise and community spirited hospitals dramatically reduce costs thus giving donors more bang for their donated buck. And the donations stay here in our local communities.

ROMAC provides these children with hope where there is no hope and restores dignity to these children’s’ lives. Its Mission Statement is “To provide medical treatment for children from developing countries in the form of life saving and/or dignity restoring surgery not accessible to them in their home country.”

On behalf of our often ‘forgotten’ children and their families, thank you
for your support.
