Romac

Rotary Oceanic Medical Aid for Children is a program of the Rotary districts of Australia and New Zealand whose endeavours provide medical treatment for children from developing countries in the form of life saving and/or dignity restoring surgery. As a National Patron for many years, ROMAC has become a major focus in Max’s life. He believes that to be involved and committed to ROMAC and the forgotten children is a privilege.

Lighthouse Foundation

Lighthouse provides long-term accommodation and intensive support to homeless young people in Victoria. Lighthouse offers a unique live-in care and outreach program. The model revolves around creating a loving family home, for life. Max was appointed a Patron of the Lighthouse Foundation in April 2003. He joined a notable list of Patrons, including Brian Burdekin AO, Michael Crawford OBE, Bev Brock and Deborra-lee Furness.  At the time of his appointment, Max said: “Fear is the dark room in which negatives are developed. The work of Susan Barton and the wonderful Lighthouse family has impacted so positively on the lives of many young people. My attitude has always been ‘if you can you must’. It is a tremendous privilege to be invited to become a Patron of Lighthouse”.
