Established in 1972, SickKids Foundation raises funds on behalf of The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada. SickKids is leading the way in Precision Child Health (PCH). PCH is the future—it’s the end of one-size-fits-all medicine and a shift to medicine tailored precisely to each individual child. It means looking at everything that makes a patient unique, from their genetic code to their postal code, then harnessing all the science, technology and data SickKids is capable of to diagnose faster, treat smarter, and predict better. SickKids has always believed that healthier children make a better world. Precision Child Health is how we get there. Heal the future. Join us today.

At Children’s Cancer Institute, we believe that a life should be long. That every child should have the chance to grow up and grow old. To plan exciting futures, chase their dreams, and fulfil their potential.
But cancer cuts life short for hundreds of children every year, before they’ve even had a chance to make their mark.
Here in Australia, more than 1000 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer every single year. And every week, 3 young lives will be lost to the disease.
For those who survive, up to 70% will experience serious long-term health problems caused by the very treatment that saved their life.
As the only independent medical research institute in Australia wholly dedicated to childhood cancer, our role is vital.
Sixty years ago, cancer was nearly always a death sentence for a child. Today, thanks to medical research, more than 8 out of 10 children survive. But we won’t stop until every child can live a long, happy and healthy life.
Our task won’t be easy – childhood cancer is hugely complex – but we’re confident that with the brightest brains, the latest in cutting-edge technology and worldwide collaboration, we can and we will cure every child of cancer.
It’s not if, it’s when.

Make-A-Wish® Australia creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Our mission is to grant the wish of every eligible child – a quest sparked by the belief that a wish is integral to a child’s treatment.
We work in partnership with sick children, their families and medical teams to design and deliver wish experiences that are as unique as the children who imagine them.
No two wishes are alike, from the simple to the seemingly impossible – we’ve made unicorns fly, sent kids to the moon and even helped Australia’s youngest ever cricket captain don the baggy green.
Wishes transform the lives of sick kids, their families and communities. Research shows that wishes work to complement medical treatment, helping to calm, distract and empower sick kids at the time they need it most. When a wish is realised, a child discovers that despite their situation, anything is possible.
Make-A-Wish is one of Australia’s most trusted charities and part of largest wish-granting organisation in the world.
As a registered Australian charity, we rely completely on the generosity of our volunteers, partners, donors and supporters to make the impossible possible for seriously ill children in Australia.
