Who Supports Us: On Thursday 18 March 1999 at a reception at Government House Canberra, our patron Sir William Deane AC, KBE launched the Sisters of the Good Samaritan Foundation. Our supporters agree to help all people irrespective or race, background or religion. Some are professionals, some share their skills, some are groups, schools, community or women's groups, men of all ages, and people of faith or no denimination. We all want to make the world a better place.
