TLC for Kids is Australia’s leading children’s charity
We help sick kids and their families cope with the challenges of everyday life with illness.
Since 1998, TLC for Kids has given relief and much-needed distraction to sick children and their families during stressful and traumatic situations.
Our Vision
We envision a world where no child or family faces hardship alone. Our goal is to make essential support services accessible to all children and families in need by expanding our Rapid TLC Service nationwide, alongside our other critical programs. We also strive to create a healthcare environment where distraction and comfort are available to all who need them, continuously innovating through research and development to serve diverse communities and situations.
Our Purpose
To provide vital practical and financial support when families need it most—a helping hand during life’s toughest moments.
Our Commitment
We are dedicated to being a sustainable, transparent, and mission-driven organisation. Our decisions are guided by integrity, staying true to our values while remaining focused on making a meaningful impact.
The TLC for Kids Distraction™ Box Program is designed to give nurses and healthcare professionals the perfect tools to guide young children through painful examinations and procedures.
The Box is placed in medical rooms and contains items that engage the attention of the child; complement the procedure; comply with hospital infection control protocols; and divert attention away from the procedure.
