The impact of leaving a gift in your Will
One of the most powerful ways you can support Clown Doctors Australia is by pledging a gift in your Will to help us create a future where children, families and older people don’t fear hospital visits or ageing alone.
Currently Clown Doctors visit 23 hospitals and 2 hospices for children and young people across Australia, supporting over 300,000 people each year – including patients, families, carers and hospital staff.
Our Laughter Care Specialists work across aged care facilities, hospitals, respite cottages and disability hubs, supporting more than 13,000 older people annually.
You can include Clown Doctors Australia in your Will by:
Including a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate.
Allocating the residual or a percentage of the remainder of your estate after your other bequests to loved ones has been distributed.
Bequesting real estate, shares, collections, assets, insurance policies, and annuities.

It’s important that your Will is worded correctly so your wishes can be honoured.
You’ll likely need some legal wording if you’re seeing a solicitor to help you write your Will.
To assist we have prepared the following wording:
1. Leaving a specific amount
“I give ___________________ dollars ($___________________) to Clown Doctors Australia and declare that the receipt for such amount by its Chief Executive, Treasurer or other authorised Officer shall be sufficient discharge to my Executors.”
2. Specific Gift
“I give my __________________ (insert description of property) to Clown Doctors Australia and declare that the receipt for such amount by its Chief Executive, Treasurer or other authorised Officer shall be sufficient discharge to my Executors.”
3. Residuary Gift
“I give the residue of my estate to Clown Doctors Australia and declare that the receipt of such share of the residue by its Chief Executive, Treasurer or other authorised Officer shall be sufficient discharge to my Executors.”
Of course it’s up to you what to include in your Will after you have provided for your loved ones. Your Will can always be updated to reflect your current wishes.
You can create a meaningful legacy for future generations.
Including Clown Doctors Australia in your Will is a special gift that will safeguard the future of our programs and our purpose to enhance wellbeing through the uplifting power of humour.
