To brighten the lives of all seriously ill children and their families.

Since being formed as an Australian children’s charity in 1988, Starlight has brightened the lives of seriously ill and hospitalised children, and their families, throughout Australia. We support them throughout their journey by providing the opportunity to be distracted from the pain and stress of their treatments and to simply be a child again, to experience special and often transformational moments and to be together as a family enjoying activities that those with well children often take for granted. Starlight programs are delivered both in and out of hospital, providing positive distraction to children in their time of need. Starlight delivers innovative programs designed to make children happy and lift their spirits when they need it most. We bring fun and laughter to children no matter what their illness or where they live.
