Our
Vision
Make-A-Wish® Australia has granted over 5,200 Wishes
to children and young people since 1985. Wishes
bring magic, joy and hope to these children and
their families, as well as unforgettable
experiences. We are the only children's charity in
Australia that focuses solely on Wish granting.
Children between the
ages of 4 and 18 who are suffering from a
life-threatening illness, may be eligible to receive
a Wish. Eligible children under the age of 4 may
receive a Wish box, a selection of age-appropriate
toys.
A child may Wish for
anything, and Make-A-Wish® does their utmost to make
it happen. In general, Wishes fall into one of four
categories:
- To meet… a
favourite rock star, sporting hero
- To be… a
policeman, fairy princess, published author
- To have… a
computer, dirt bike, shopping spree
- To go… Gold
Coast Theme Parks, Disneyland, Paris
