Bequests

Your Will. Their way forward.

A gift or bequest in your Will to TLC for Kids helps bring care, comfort and practical support to sick kids and their families when they need it most.

Whether big or small, your bequest can help provide urgent help within 24 to 48 hours, ease hospital visits through our Distraction Services, or support meaningful moments through the TLC Ambulance.

You don’t need great wealth to make a lasting impact. Just the intention to help.

Why leave a gift in your Will?

Leaving a gift in your Will is a powerful way to extend your compassion beyond your lifetime. You’ll help ensure no sick child faces their journey without practical and emotional support.

Leaving a gift or bequest in your Will means that support continues into the future, creating comfort in times of crisis for generations to come. It’s not just about passing on assets, it’s about passing on your values.

How to leave a bequest

We recommend seeking professional legal advice when preparing your Will. You can speak with your solicitor or use a secure, easy online service like Willed.

If you choose to include a gift to TLC for Kids in your Will, please use the suggested wording below:

Legal information:
TLC for Kids is a registered charity (ABN 34 335 920 537) and Public Benevolent Institution under Australian law. We are governed by the ACNC and relevant legislation.

Suggested wording:
“I give to TLC for Kids (ABN 34 335 920 537), G03/7 English Street, Essendon Fields VIC 3041 [insert amount, percentage or item] for its general charitable purposes. I declare that the receipt of the Chief Executive Officer or authorised officer will be sufficient discharge to my Executors.”

We’ve partnered with Willed

Creating a Will has traditionally been seen as expensive and time-consuming, discouraging many from completing something so important, not only for their loved ones, but for the legacy they wish to leave behind.

To make the process easier, TLC for Kids has partnered with Willed, a secure online platform that enables you to create your legally binding Will in just a few simple steps, from the comfort of your home.

Willed was created by legal and technology experts but more importantly, by people who understand the need to make end-of-life planning simple, affordable, and stress-free.

During the process, you’ll be asked if you’d like to leave a gift. Once your loved ones are cared for, you may choose to leave a percentage of your estate, or a specific amount, to TLC for Kids.
