Wishes are possible!

We are committed to bringing every child's unique wish to life when it is safe and possible to do so. On this page, you'll find examples of the types of wishes that are happening right now for inspiration as you create your own unique Wish Journey.

Each year, we receive hundreds of requests for a new furry best friend to love, cuddle and join the family - be it a puppy, cat, horse or even a couple of chickens!

If this is your wish, we'll go on a mission to find your paw-fect pal and provide everything you need upfront - this may include your first vet visit, training and insurance expenses (depending on the animal), food and accessories as part of your pre-wish anticipation.

Here's some wish inspiration:

• Prada is a girl's best friend, and now her new pony is the mane event!
• Jada and her wish cat Penny both have unique heart conditions. And since they have been together, they've been inseparable.
• See how Nevaeh lit up when she met her puppy love, Cali
• Animal-lover Sahara's deep sense of compassion saw her care for rescue cats and dogs.

Do you want to be the next gaming superstar, play a musical instrument, or learn a new language? If you need to upgrade your equipment or you're looking for expert advice, we can provide the things you need to take you to the next level - whether you’re starting out or going pro.

This wish type could include:

• A spending spree where you create your own shopping list!
• The guitar, drum kit, or piano of your dreams.
• The latest PlayStation or Xbox along with controllers and games vouchers - to help you game like a pro!
• A purpose-built laptop or PC with monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, or headset, to transport to new worlds and complete challenges of your choice - all delivered to you at home.
• An iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Mac-book, or Mac to help you feel more independent, be more creative or stay connected with friends.
• A VR headset and games to explore the impossible or escape to faraway places - no day is the same when you visit a virtual reality!
• Endless fun and independence with a new bike, scooter, or pogo stick!

Whatever your hobbies and talents, we would love to create a unique wish based on the things you love (art, photography, sewing) - just let us know.

Please note, we can't offer installation or ongoing subscriptions (including AppleCare+).

Sometimes, you just want to take the fun outside and have the best playground in your backyard like Levi? Or you might take inspiration from Maple's barbie dream house or Charlie's robot, which is making all his schoolmates green with envy. Whatever your playtime wish, it's our job to make it happen.

Another popular wish is for kids who want a space that's uniquely their own. Some wish for a veggie or fairy garden, others for a bedroom makeover or a cubby house. Whatever you desire, we'll help create your wish - a place to escape, a space to dream and play, a special sanctuary away from hospitals.

Most people never get to meet their idols. But imagine you could... who would you pick?

Your favourite celebs may be available to answer your burning questions, let you in on trade secrets, or simply enjoy some time together.

While not ALL celebrities are available for wishes, we can often arrange a video chat, video message or phone call. If you have a favourite entertainer or sports personality, let us know and we’ll do our best to make the impossible possible!

If your child choses a celebrity wish or experience our team will talk you through the options specific to that celebrity and whether the wish can be granted.

Travel wishes make up a large percentage of our program, with hundreds of children travelling as part of their wish each year. If you think a travel wish is for you, we're here to help!

• Snow Time for Kaylee
• Jordy's wish to raise awareness for the Great Barrier Reef

At Make-A-Wish, we have a single purpose and mission to grant the wish of every eligible child. We believe a wish should be limitless, which is why we encourage our kids to think big when capturing their wishes. Whether it's a wish to go to the moon or captain the Australian cricket team - more often than not, we can find a way to make it happen.

Whilst we encourage community support and participation, we are unable to accept any personal contributions towards your child's wish. To ensure the financial sustainability and continuity of our mission, child safeguarding and our Wish-Granting Principles always guide us on our Wish possibilities, some exclusions may apply (and change from time to time):

• Make-A-Wish Australia does not currently grant international travel wishes, pools, cars, quadbikes, landscaping, structural renovations, electrical works, medical equipment or formal educational assistance. Please note this list is not exhaustive.
