Starlight Children’s Foundation

Starlight’s mission is to brighten the lives of seriously ill and hospitalized children and their families across Australia.

Every minute of every day, a child is admitted to hospital in Australia. For thousands of these children, this leads to the diagnosis of serious illness that changes their lives forever.

Starlight is there at this time, and throughout their lives, to provide positive distraction through a variety of programs in and out of hospital and restore the fun and laughter that serious illness takes away. Programs are integral to the total health care by supporting the well being and resilience of seriously ill children to ensure their hospital experience is more positive.

“Looking after a child with a chronic or life threatening illness requires a comprehensive ‘total’ approach to care, a healing environment that includes entertainment diversion, fun, laughter and joy. Starlight is a key partner in providing these aspects of care”.

Professor Les White
Executive Director, The Children’s Hospital
