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.

Three new TLC Distraction Boxes have now been delivered to Perth Children’s Hospital, Emergency Department 💛

Perth Children’s Hospital is one of our key users of TLC Distraction Boxes, and we’re grateful to be able to provide this program, helping ensure children can access distraction and comfort when they need it most during their care.

We know that support isn't always about the big things. Sometimes it's about providing a child with an opportunity to create, express themselves and focus on being a kid.

Following a spinal injury, Eliza’s daily life has changed significantly. She continues to channel her creativity through art, using it as a source of joy, comfort and normality during a challenging time.

Through a Rapid TLC, we were able to provide Eliza with an Apple Pencil and craft supplies, giving her the tools to continue doing something she loves.

Thank you, Eliza, for sharing this beautiful artwork with us 💙

This morning, we had a very special visit from Linda and Allen Hammond from the Hammond Family Foundation 💛

Since 2019, Linda and Allen have been such a valued part of the TLC family, continually going above and beyond for the children and families we support each year.

It’s partnerships like theirs that keep TLC for Kids services on the road, in hospitals, and reaching families at their most vulnerable moments.

We are so grateful to have them by our side.

A brave, honest, LEGO-loving young boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Self-described as a “chatterbox”, James knows exactly who he is and we absolutely adored reading his note to us.

When it came time to pack his RAPID TLC, there was only one option really… LEGO, LEGO, and more LEGO.

This National Volunteer Week, we want to shine a spotlight on some of the most special volunteers, the incredible paramedics from Ambulance Victoria and South Australian Ambulance Service 💛

Without their generosity, these trips simply wouldn't be possible.

To every paramedic who has raised their hand to help, thank you. The difference you make goes so much further than the trip itself, and we are truly grateful to have you in our corner 💛

Every sale contributes to supporting children and families facing serious illness.

Through Sales for Social Impact, Oliver Hume is helping families access care, create meaningful moments, and bring comfort when it’s needed most.

A reminder of the difference a partnership like this can make.
