(1) An Appeal for the purpose of raising money was conducted in 1957 in conjunction with the celebration of the centenary of the founding of Saint Vincent’s Hospital, Darlinghurst, by the Congregation of the Religious Sisters of Charity of Australia:
(2) Pursuant to a decision made on 27th October, 1960, by the Trustees of Saint Vincent’s Hospital, Darlinghurst, for the disposition of the money raised by that Appeal, a building was erected at that Hospital to be used for the purposes of medical research:
(3) By a Declaration of Trust dated 5th November, 1962, the Trustees for the time being of Saint Vincent’s Hospital, Darlinghurst, declared themselves to be trustees of a fund required, by the terms of the trusts created by the Declaration, to be used for the purposes of providing for the salary of a Director of Clinical Medical Research and for the purposes of research in clinical medicine at that Hospital:
(4) With the assistance of staff provided by those Sisters of Charity and equipment provided from that Hospital and other sources, the building so erected has been used under the supervision of that Director for the purpose of medical research which, conducted under the name of the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, has become of increasing national and international significance:
