The June Canavan Foundation continues the generous work that June undertook during her life. The Foundation offers small grants to community projects which lead to an increase in the health and well-being of people. The Foundation welcomes both donations and applications for grants.

Welcome to the June Canavan Foundation website. The Foundation was established in 2010 to honour the life of Dr June Canavan. June was a much loved sports physician from the Sunshine Coast of Queensland who was one of the 9 Australians who lost her life in the Kokoda Air crash in August 2009. As an ongoing legacy of her life, the June Canavan Foundation ensures that June's humanitarian ethos lives on. It provides support to existing projects and programs in four areas which were close to June's heart - health, education, sport and conservation. The website provides an opportunity for June's community of family, friends, athletes, patients and colleague to remain connected to her spirit and her legacy.

"One of the most wonderful, caring people you could ever hope to meet. Dr June always made time for everyone, even when she didn't have any. June was taken from earth doing what she was passionate about and will be surely missed by everyone who knew her".

Everyone who knew June Canavan assumed she would be remarkable. Even before her successful career in medicine, she displayed the symptoms of a chronic over achiever.
