Starlight Children's Foundation

Transforming the hospital experience for kids and families living with serious illness

Starlight Children's Foundation program expansion in regional NSW and Gold Coast

The Starlight Children's Foundation is expanding the provision of much needed support to seriously ill children and their families in NSW and the Gold Coast. Support to families living in or hospitalised in these areas will be provided through three core programs.

  • In-hospital programs at John Hunter Hospital (Newcastle) where the most seriously ill children from across northern NSW are treated.
  • Starlight Connection brings the Captain Starlight program to regional hospitals where hospitalised children often have little or no access to specialised distraction programs. New regular programs will now be established at hospitals in Maitland, Gosford, Armidale, Tamworth, Lismore, and the Gold Coast.
  • Starlight Wish-granting. Each month, one seriously ill child will be granted their unique wish.

Greater Building Society staff will be able to volunteer to assist in the delivery of the programs

Starlight Reaches Out

Starlight Launches to the Sky

The Starlight Foundation is now visiting more hospitals than ever before. We are helping to bring the inspiring ‘in-hospital’ programs to hospitals in Maitland, Gosford, Armidale, Tamworth, Lismore and even the Gold Coast. These programs will help bring a smile to the faces of seriously ill children and their families. Greater staff members have also been helping the Starlight Captains deliver the program, and will continue to support them as they travel around, lifting the spirits of some really sick kids and reminding them what it’s like to be a child again.
