About Globalinks Medical Foundation

Globalinks Medical Foundation was founded by Dr Peter Locke & his wife Carolyn following their experiences volunteering overseas where they were moved and disturbed by the prevalence of illness, disease and child mortality rates especially in Sub Saharan Africa. It was formed with the vision of providing health care to those in need by working side by side with local health staff, providing much needed supplies and equipment and planning with Health Ministries to achieve sustainable progress towards positive health outcomes.

​Run entirely by volunteers, Globalinks Medical Foundation is an Australian charity fully registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the Australian Business Register (ABR), the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission (ACNC). ABN 20 620 110 670
