The Wicking Trust lives on as a tribute to their partnership and commitment to funding organisations addressing Alzheimer’s disease, programs that support ageing well and partnerships with Vision Australia and the O’Brien Foundation. As one of Australia’s most significant philanthropic trusts, it distributes around $4 million annually.
