Empower a child with a wish
Critical illness can take away so much from kids. It removes any choice about how they live their lives, and any control they have over their future.
By making a gift to Make-A-Wish, one of the most trusted Australian children's charities, you’re empowering kids like Brax and Dre to do anything they choose, through the power of a wish. Make a tax-deductible donation by 30 June.
Help grant wishes every month by joining The Wish Express!
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.

Make the impossible, possible
We’ve made unicorns fly, sent kids to the moon and, together with our #WishForce, we’re on a mission to grant a wish for every eligible child.
Wishes have a remarkable, uplifting and positive impact that extends far beyond the wish itself.
