Starlight Foundation

Starlight Children's Foundation is dedicated to brightening the lives of seriously ill children, young people and their families. That's why since 1988, we've partnered with Australian health professionals to develop programs based on positive psychology principles that support the 'total care' of our children and teens. Like the young people in our care, we are distinctly Australian. Our unique programs are the result of extensive research and respond to the specific needs of Aussie kids and teens.
