How we help kids

We step in when others can’t or won’t. We are dedicated to empowering kids who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with disabilities through our grants, scholarships, programs and experiences.

If we can help your family, please check out our range of support options below.

Grants

We make sure children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with disabilities can access the care and opportunities they deserve.

INDIVIDUAL GRANTS

We fund essential items that help children and their families access the care, resources and support they need to thrive. This includes medical and mobility equipment, communication devices, educational tools, technology and sensory resources – including practical items not covered by the NDIS. Apply for an Individual Grant here (open 1 January-31 August 2026).

COMMUNITY GRANTS

We support schools, not-for-profits and community groups through grants that strengthen programs and environments for children who need it most. Community grants can include funding for inclusive education resources, mobility and therapy equipment, assistive technology and sensory or recreational tools that create more accessible, supportive spaces for kids. Apply for a Community Grant here (open 1 January-31 August 2026).
