Starlight Children's Foundation Australia brightens the lives of seriously ill and hospitalised children and young people.

When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, life becomes consumed by hospital and treatment. It’s scary and overwhelming. 
As Australia’s broadest reaching and most reputable children’s charity*, we’ve worked alongside health professionals for over 35 years, helping ‘sick kids’ simply be ‘kids’.

Every research-based Starlight program creates much-needed happiness for sick kids and their families. Happiness helps sick kids cope better with the pain and stress of treatment, and helps families feel more connected and positive about what lies ahead.  

⭐ That’s why Starlight exists. Because happiness matters.

At Starlight, our most important responsibility is to ensure our programs are provided in an environment that is caring, nurturing and safe for all children and young people. We have been awarded full Safeguarding Children accreditation through the Australian Childhood Foundation.

Starlight has been recognised as an Employer of Choice over the years, most recently with a Great Place to Work accreditation in 2023.  In the 2022 McKinsey Organisational Health Index, Starlight was in the top decile globally for 8 out of 9 outcomes. Starlight was also the Australian Financial Review's Most Innovative Company in the Government, Education and NFP category.
