About Me

The Starlight Children’s Foundation brightens the lives of all seriously ill and hospitalised children and their families, throughout Australia.

There are over 600,000 child admissions to hospitals in Australia each year. Sadly, Starlight reaches only 1 in 3. Our goal is to reach 3 out of 3.

Living with illness or injury can cause enormous strain in the lives of children and their families. The pain, loneliness and isolation that sick children feel dominates their lives, and they often miss out on normal experiences that healthy children take for granted.

Physical recovery is only part of the solution. Starlight delivers programs designed to make children happy and lift their spirits when they need it most. Starlight brings fun and
laughter to children no matter what their illness or where they live.

Since 1988, Starlight has been providing services Australia wide to help seriously ill and hospitalised children, and their families, throughout Australia. Starlight programs are
delivered both in and out of hospital, providing positive distraction to children in their time of need.

Each year there are over 600,000 child admissions made to hospitals across Australia. Sadly, Starlight reaches only ‘1 in 3’ of these children. Starlight’s ultimate goal is to reach
each and every child.
