Rapid Terms and Conditions

If you’re a new user of the Rapid TLC Program, please take note of the following terms and conditions.

Terms & Conditions

• All RAPID TLC Referrals must be initiated by a Healthcare Professional or a TLC for Kids staff member who is directly working with the child. Unfortunately, TLC for Kids cannot accept referrals from family members or friends of the sick child.
• Referrals are only to be initiated where the Healthcare Professional has identified a genuine need for an immediate emotional and practical support in which the sick child or their immediate family will directly benefit from the referral.
• When stating the reason for referral, please ensure it clearly demonstrates how the request is related to:
  • the health condition of a child; or
  • child or their immediate family’s emotional or mental well-being.
• The child and family must not be aware of the specifics of the referral, to avoid any disappointment.
• Once a RAPID TLC Request has been received and approved by the CEO or Executive Manager of TLC for Kids, the referral will be fulfilled in the shortest time possible.
• Any media interest relating to a RAPID TLC Request must be approved by the CEO or Executive Manager of TLC for Kids.
• Referrals cannot include anything that is not age appropriate or encourage consumption of alcohol.

Note: If TLC for Kids receives a request for a child and another organisation or individual has pursued the same request, TLC for Kids reserves the right to put on hold the request until further notice. This is only to avoid double up of requests to the same celebrity, company or individual that may otherwise be helping with the same request for the same child.
