Why we're different

Operationally, TLC for kids is distinctly different from other children’s charities in the health sector.

We have no waiting lists
We’ve never had to turn away a single request for Rapid support due to inability to fulfill it
There is no pre-required level of illness for kids to qualify for our help
Super fast response time (within 48 hours)
We work with kids as many times as we’re needed, no matter how many years we’re required, we’re still there.
We do not ignore kids who have had a wish granted previously by another charity
All of our requests come via healthcare professionals/nurses who recommend when a child needs help and what they would therapeutically benefit from.
Nurses & health professionals rely on TLC for kids as an extension of their team. They keep us informed of where the gaps are forming, and what services are really needed.
We are Australian owned
Our process innovations allow us to run on extraordinarily lean operating costs, reaching and supporting kids over half a million times each year, from a base of only 4 full time staff.
