Our mission is to provide financial support to deserving students pursuing full-time graduate or postgraduate studies in Western herbal medicine.
We believe in nurturing future leaders in this field and empowering them through education.
The Patricia Bone Foundation is named in memory of my wife, the late Patricia Bone, a major contributor in the field of herbal medicine.
Patricia dedicated her life to elevating the status of herbal medicine in Australia and beyond. As a key figure in the establishment of MediHerb, Australia’s leading herbal brand for practitioners, she played a pivotal role in creating the systems that support quality sourcing, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of herbal medicine products.
Patricia's commitment to excellence was evident in her meticulous approach to developing procedures and nurturing talent within the organisation. She was known for her ability to listen to customers, address their concerns and incorporate feedback into product development, which helped MediHerb build an outstanding reputation among practitioners worldwide.
Our Foundation has created the Patricia Bone Scholarship Fund, which aims to continue Patricia Bone’s legacy by supporting students who aspire to contribute in the field of Western herbal medicine.
