The Ambu-Lunch

Be part of the moments that can’t wait.

Following the success of our Ambu-Lunch last year, we are thrilled to announce its return in 2026.

Join us for an afternoon dedicated to raising essential funds for the TLC Ambulance Program.

In Victoria, the TLC Ambulance helps children in palliative care and their families create meaningful moments beyond the hospital. Each journey is carefully planned and hosted by the TLC for Kids team in collaboration with the Ambulance Victoria (AV).

Supported by skilled volunteer AV Paramedics, the team ensures every trip is delivered safely, comfortably and with genuine compassion, allowing families to focus on being together. Whether it is a day at the beach, a visit to the zoo, or one final trip home surrounded by loved ones, each experience is designed to bring calm, connection and joy when time is limited.

The Ambu-Lunch brings together compassionate individuals and organisations who believe that every child deserves comfort, dignity and joy, even in life’s most difficult moments.

We cannot reach every child without the support of people like you. By attending, you are standing alongside families when they need it most.

Event Details:

When: Friday 9th October 2026

Time: Arrival from 11:30am

Where: Hyatt Place, The Australian Events Centre | 1 Larkin Boulevard, Essendon Fields VIC 3041

A glimpse into last year’s Ambu-Lunch

“I didn’t realise how much goes into those journeys until I attended. It was incredibly emotional and very special to be part of.”
