The Vera and Abe Dorevitch Estate

In October 2023, Technion Australia proudly acknowledged the Vera and Abe Dorevitch Estate for its generous contribution to the Technion’s Emergency Fund—a vital resource that underpins urgent academic needs and rapid-response initiatives.

Champions of Flexibility & Resilience

The Emergency Fund plays a crucial role in enabling Technion to quickly adapt to evolving global challenges—whether catalysing swift research pivots or reinforcing academic infrastructure. Through their estate gift, Vera and Abe Dorevitch have empowered Technion to act with agility and foresight, ensuring scholars and innovators can thrive in times of uncertainty.

A Lifelong Partnership with Science & Community

  • Abe Dorevitch (November 1929–October 2019) was a distinguished Victorian pathologist and founder of Dorevitch Pathology, dedicating nearly 65 years to medicine, research, and professional mentorship
  • His wife, Vera Dorevitch (1932–November 18, 2021), hailed from Melbourne, and together, they built a legacy of service to science and community; her state-based estate remains active in supporting their shared values

The estate’s support of Technion’s Emergency Fund ensures that vital academic and research opportunities are not delayed by financial constraints. Today’s breakthroughs—across engineering, healthcare, and innovative technologies—often require rapid and flexible funding.

Their gift continues the couple’s philanthropic streak, echoing Abe’s lifelong dedication to medical education and community, and sustained by Vera’s equal compassion and commitment.

Inspiring Future Support

Vera and Abe Dorevitch’s generosity sets a compelling example: legacy giving can empower Institutions like Technion to remain responsive, resilient, and ready to meet tomorrow’s challenges. Their actions echo through the halls of innovation, research labs, and every student who benefits from emergency funding.
