History

Celebrating 50 Years

Cairnmillar is a not for profit organisation founded by Dr Francis Macnab in 1961. 

In 2011 we will be proud to celebrate our 50th birthday.  Stay tuned for details.....

A generous gift……..

A generous donation by Edith Hughes-Jones enabled Cairnmillar to purchase our beautiful building at 993 Burke Road Camberwell.

Edith was a distinguished nurse who was instrumental in re-shaping the nursing profession. In the early 1970’s both Edith and her staff participated in several of Cairnmillar's professional development courses conducted by Cairmillar's Founder and Executive Director Dr Francis Macnab.  Impressed with the work of Cairnmillar, Edith made a generous donation.

Edith’s truly notable gift enabled Cairnmillar to purchase 993 Burke Road in Camberwell, Melbourne and has helped thousands of people in Australia.
