How you can help

At Make-A-Wish, our policy is to use gifts-in-kind in connection with a child’s unique wish journey (only).

To accept a gift-in-kind, we need to match your gift to a wish - not always an easy feat - given each wish is as unique and individual as the child who imagines them!

As a guide, we can generally accept:

  • Concert tickets*
  • Sport event tickets*
  • Gift vouchers
  • Experiences or tours with a registered business
  • Hotel/resort accommodation
  • New computers or computer accessories
  • Signed merchandise
  • Professional services like face painting, makeup artists, event styling, limousine transport, professional photography, etc**

We are unable to accept:

  • Second-hand goods, clothing or toys (unless very specific to a wish, like signed merchandise)
  • Used furniture
  • Medical equipment
  • Rides in personal vehicles or on motorbikes that are not registered to a business
  • Firearms or any type of weaponry
  • Items or event tickets affiliated with a particular religion (as we are a non-denominational charity)
  • R-rated video games or DVDs containing explicit language, sexual content and/or violence

Thanks for your understanding, and we look forward to hearing from you!

*Please note we can't accept single event or sporting event tickets, as children must always be accompanied by a parent/guardian

**Anyone who undertakes child-related voluntary work in Australia is required to have a current Working with Children Check or Blue Card
