More than 11,000 wishes granted
As Australia’s only children’s charity dedicated solely to granting wishes, we know their power. A wish brings hope, joy and lasting positive effects for a wish child, their family and community, fostering resilience and opening possibilities.
Every wish is as unique as the child who imagines it. 100% donor-funded, we rely on supporters and volunteers to bring wishes to life for critically ill children across Australia.
Help grant wishes every month
Giving a monthly donation is the best way you can help make more wishes come true. Your regular support will deliver hope, joy and lasting memories to critically ill kids.
Embark on the Wish Express and help us deliver the wish effect! As a regular donor of Make-A-Wish Australia you’ll get a first-class seat as we deliver life-changing wishes to sick kids.
Volunteer and help bring wishes to life
Our Wish Force, made up of over 850 volunteers across Australia, brings together people of all ages and backgrounds to help make life-changing wishes come true for critically ill children and their families.
Volunteering with Make-A-Wish Australia lets you join a globally recognised charity, make a real impact in your community, and experience the power of a wish. Even our longest-serving volunteers (we’re talking decades!) continue to be inspired by the joy they help create.
More ways to help grant wishes
Grant wishes through workplace giving
Looking for a simple way to boost employee engagement and give back? Workplace giving is a simple, tax-effective way to help make life-changing wishes come true for critically ill children.
