Fiona Wood Foundation

Fiona Wood Foundation The Foundation is dedicated to the vision of Scarless Healing in mind and body for all burn patients. Thank you for taking the time to visit our page.

In May 2012 the McComb Foundation transitioned to the Fiona Wood Foundation, heralding an exciting new era for this not-for-profit organisation. With this transition, comes the launch of the Scarless Healing Appeal, which we created to support the development of an international Centre of Excellence in Burn Research. The team at the Foundation have been responsible for great discoveries in burns t

reatment such as the spray on skin- which is now used around the world. The Foundation is taking the treament of burns and scars into the future. The effects of a burn injury devastating and traumatic, and in many cases, last a lifetime. For many, the road to recovery is a long, painful, and emotional one. Our vision is to deliver scarless healing- in mind and body- to all burn injury survivors. With your support, we can ensure that the quality of the scar is worth the pain of survival. Your support helps us continue our work to make scarless healing a reality.

A remarkable honour for Professor Fiona Wood AO.

Professor Fiona Wood AO has been awarded the 2026 Royal Medal, also known as the King’s Medal, for her pioneering work resulting in the invention of spray-on skin, an innovation that has transformed the lives of burns patients globally.

Established by King George IV in 1825, the Royal Medals place Fiona within a distinguished scientific lineage recognised by the Crown.

For all of us at the Fiona Wood Foundation, this recognition is especially meaningful. Fiona’s resolve, tenacity and commitment to improving outcomes for burn survivors have underpinned more than three decades of research, innovation and clinical translation.

We are immensely proud of Fiona and have shared more about this recognition, in our latest Foundation news linked below.

Our impact is supported by the people and organisations who get behind what we do, and this week Elders did exactly that. 🌾

By welcoming us into their tent at the Dowerin Machinery Field Days, we had the opportunity to connect with the ag community, have some incredible conversations and meet some of the best people.

Most importantly, hundreds of burn first aid magnets are now heading onto fridges across regional WA, and Ben & Bella storybooks onto bookshelves in homes, schools and libraries.

A huge thank you to Elders and everyone who stopped by!

One small but important part of our stand at Dowerin this year is our burn first aid fridge magnets, created especially for agricultural communities.

They’re part of our Impactful Education work and a simple way to keep trusted burn first aid information visible and close at hand, whether that’s at home, in the shed or at work.

If you’re at Dowerin, come and find us at the Elders tent and pick one up.

The FWF team is at Dowerin! 🌾

We’re spending both days at the Dowerin Machinery Field Days, connecting with the ag community and sharing important messages about burn prevention, first aid and the work we do to improve outcomes after burn injury.

A massive shout-out to Elders for getting behind the FWF and generously giving us a space in their tent to connect with the community.

National Science Week is a chance to meet the people behind the science and learn what inspires their work.

Dr Lucy Barrett is an immunologist and researcher exploring how burn injury can influence the immune system over time. Her work looks beyond the physical scar to better understand inflammation, immune response and the body’s repair process.

Swipe through to hear what first drew her to science, what she enjoys most about working in the lab, and what continues to fascinate her about the immune system.

Behind every advance in care are researchers building the knowledge that can be translated into better treatment and recovery.
