The Starlight Children's Foundation brightens the lives of seriously ill and hospitalised children and their families throughout Australia.
Living with illness or injury can cause enormous strain in the lives of children and their families. The everyday joys of childhood often take a backseat to the stress of treatment and isolation
Since 1988 Starlight has delivered innovative within hospital
environments, with the endorsement and support of the healthcare
profession. Our programs are designed to be an integral part of the total
health care of children.
These programs currently reach only '1 out of 3' of the 600,000 child
admissions made to Australian hospitals each year. To achieve our
mission of reaching all seriously ill children, we need to extend our
program reach and utilise new technologies to increase connection and
allow greater access to the proven benefits of Starlight programs.
Starlight's programs include: Starlight Express Rooms; Starlight Express
Vans; Starlight Fun Centres; Starlight Escapes & Wishgranting;
StarbrightWorld and Project Connect.
