  • The Bernie Banton Foundation was an Australian not-for-profit organisation founded in June 2009 by its CEO, Karen Banton, the widow of Bernie Banton AM. It was an Australian national (New South Wales based and registered) mesothelioma cancer, and other asbestos related diseases victim support and patient related advocacy organisation, offering and providing support in all Australian states and territories. The Foundation was established to uphold what Bernie Banton believed in; to assist people to navigate the difficult journey an asbestos related disease diagnosis presents; to enable people to have informed choice about specialist asbestos dust litigators, medical professionals and care providers; to prevent people being exposed to asbestos dust/fibres by creating awareness of mesothelioma asbestos cancer and other asbestos related diseases; and to advocate for, and to be: ‘The voice of reason for Australian asbestos related disease sufferers, their carers and loved ones, allied health and care providers, and to the wider community.’ The Foundation was launched by the Prime Minister, The Hon Kevin Rudd, on September 9, 2009, at the Bernie Banton Centre located at Sydney's Concord Hospital. A decision to wind up the Bernie Banton Foundation and finish operating COB 30 June 2020 was announced via a media release on 28 January 2020, attracting extensive media coverage. Winding up the Foundation was not a decision that was taken lightly, and was reached after two years of work on succession planning by Karen Banton, Rod Smith and the Bernie Banton Foundation Board.
