Call Directions Website

We're Australia’s leading children’s charity, helping sick kids and their families cope with the challenges of everyday life with illness.

For over 27 years, TLC for Kids has been at the forefront of bridging the critical gap between available services & the pressing needs of sick children and families, striving to restore smiles, give hope and provide indispensable support in times of need.

Together, we raised an incredible $134,860!

We’re so grateful to every guest, sponsor, donor and supporter who helped make Ambu-Lunch 2026 such a special day.

Every ticket, raffle entry, auction bid and donation made a difference. These funds will help keep the TLC Ambulance on the road, giving more children in palliative care the opportunity to share precious moments with their families.

A favourite destination, laughter with a sibling, or simply time together outside the hospital. These are the moments your generosity makes possible.

Thank you for being part of such a meaningful day and helping us provide relief that can’t wait.

We can’t wait to welcome you back for Ambu-Lunch 2027.

No matter the weather, RAPID TLC delivers immediate relief. 💙

Zoe and Joanna were off to Monash Hospital to deliver a much-needed twin pram to a family with two premature babies who have additional health conditions.

One practical delivery to help ease the pressure on a family navigating an already challenging time.

This is why we are the NOW Charity.

Happy Birthday, Maddie! 💙⚡

Maddie is living with multiple health conditions, and she had one big birthday request: a Sonic-themed party. Her Rapid TLC brought it to life with a Sonic cake, decorations and Pokémon surprises. Her brother Marshall got a present too!

For Maddie’s mum, Melissa, having the celebration organised meant so much: “Having the cake, decorations and presents organised for me has helped immensely.”

This is why our Rapid TLC service exists: to bring joy to children like Maddie and support their families when they need it most.

Making memories on a TLC Ambulance Trip 💛

Apryl and her family are currently in Melbourne from Darwin while Apryl receives medical care. A TLC Ambulance Trip gave them the opportunity to step away from the hospital and enjoy a beautiful day together at Werribee Open Range Zoo.

The sun was shining, the animals were out and the giraffes on the morning safari were a definite highlight.

It was a day filled with many smiles and precious time together.

A little distraction can make a big difference. 💙

The Surgical Team at Ipswich Hospital is now using TLC Distraction Boxes to help ease fear and anxiety for approximately 90 paediatric patients each week as they prepare for surgery.

We love seeing TLC Distraction Boxes make a meaningful difference for young patients and their families.
