A home away from home for sick and injured kids and their families

More than a place to sleep

For over 33 years we’ve been dedicated to easing the stress and financial burden of families navigating their child’s serious medical journey, allowing them to focus on what truly matters – their child’s well-being.

Our support has also alleviated pressure on hospital resources. By enabling earlier discharges and later admissions, we have helped avoid thousands of hospital bed nights. Families miss fewer appointments and experience reduced mental stress, while hospital staff spend less time addressing accommodation and logistical concerns.

None of this would be possible without the generous support of individuals, community members, and corporate partners like YOU. Thank you for making a difference.

Meet our Brave and Courageous Kids

Archie along with his family has spent over 100 nights at the House while he battles group A streptococcal septic shock. 

Having his family by his side has made a world of difference. They now visit the Houses regularly for check-ups and will do for at least another 12 months.

Last year, brave Hudson was diagnosed with t-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia after presenting at Forbes hospital, with a high temperature, a distended stomach and he was no longer eating or drinking

Along with his family they stayed with us for 309 nights as he battles this terrible disease.

Kyesha-Lee is one brave little girl. She was diagnosed in 2019 leukaemia and has survived scary operations, treatments and countless cycles of chemotherapy.

The family spent over 230 nights at our House in Randwick as she battled this terrible disease.
