Stillbirth Foundation Australia

Stillbirth Foundation Australia There are 6 stillbirths a day in Australia. Stillbirth Foundation Australia is raising money for research.

The Stillbirth Foundation Australia works to reduce the incidence of stillbirth in Australia by:

* Funding and encouraging research into stillbirth; and

* Increasing public awareness about stillbirth. Stillbirth is when a baby dies whilst inside its mother and can occur at anytime from 20 weeks until immediately before birth. Six babies are delivered stillborn every day in Australia, and for e

very baby that dies of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), 30 are stillborn. Despite medical and scientific advances, the rate of stillborn babies is not declining nor well understood - a situation that urgently needs to be adressed. The Stillbirth Foundation Australia provides an opportunity for the community to support research and education into this devastating condition, while offering stillparents, their families and friends a way to connect with each other.

Recently, Dan, Tricia's dad, ran in the City2Surf – 14km honouring her 14th birthday. Below is an excerpt from their story and how their family lovingly honours their firstborn daughter, beautiful Tricia.

“A couple of weekends ago, I baked a birthday cake. Not for my 13 & 10 year old kids, but for my first daughter, Tricia, who was tragically born sleeping in 2012 after a 35-week pregnancy.

Each July our family celebrates her birthday with a cake, and each December we choose a new Christmas tree decoration for her. These small traditions are a positive way for us to honour Tricia’s memory, yet her devastating loss reminds us regularly of what is most important in life …”

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part in and supported the 2026 Voltaren recently. Your strength and spirit inspire us, and we hope you’re now enjoying some well-earned rest.

We’re incredibly grateful for the generous donations received. Thanks to your efforts, almost $3,500 was raised to support the Foundation.

Participants ran in honour of Tricia, Florence and all the precious babies who are not here with their families.

We deeply appreciate every step, every dollar and every gesture of support.

It has been deeply moving to witness the heartfelt social posts and reflections shared by bereaved families, clinicians, researchers, policymakers and community advocates following the 2026 Waves of Change Conference.

In Loving Memory of Percy

Jenny, grandmother to Percy, recently completed an incredible 800km walk along the Camino de Santiago through France and Spain.

Jenny's aim was to get the Compostela in her grandson's name and to light a candle in his honour in the cathedral in Santiago.

Thank you, Jenny, for raising more than $5,800 on behalf of the Foundation in Percy’s honour. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity, dedication and support.

Congratulations on this remarkable achievement.
