Make A Wish

As one of Australia's most trusted charities*, Make-A-Wish work in partnership with sick children, their families and medical teams to design and deliver wishes that are as unique as the children who imagine them. Make-A-Wish 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. With more than 37 years of feedback from local wish families, along with a growing body of international research, shows that wishes give kids with critical illness greater strength and hope for their future. A wish is not a fleeting gift – each child's Wish Journey is carefully planned and delivered over several stages to create a positive, lasting impact. • Wishes are designed to complement a child's medical treatment, working to calm, distract and inspire at a time they need it most. • When a wish is realised, a child discovers that despite their situation, anything is possible. • In this way, wishes deliver both an immediate boost and long-lasting effect on the lives of sick kids, their families and communities.
