How we are different

About Our Restriction-Free Service Model

A sick child should never have to wait or qualify for the help they and their families need.

TLC for Kids is dedicated to providing prompt assistance to sick children in need. Our mission is simple yet impactful: to ensure that sick kids receive the care and attention they deserve without any unnecessary barriers or delays.

No waiting Lists

We don’t put children on waiting lists to receive our help. We action all requests immediately

No Restrictive Criteria

There is no pre-required level of illness for kids to qualify for our help

Super-Fast Response Time

We are committed to actioning requests between 24 – 48 hours, if not sooner

Complete Ability

We’ve never had to turn away a single request for Rapid support due to inability to fulfill it

No Service Limits on Quantity

We work with kids as many times as we’re needed. No matter how many years we’re required, we’re still there

We Do Not Ignore Kids

We do not ignore kids who have been previously supported by another charity service, including our own

Network of Healthcare Professionals

All of our requests come via healthcare professionals/nurses who recommend when a child needs help and what they would therapeutically benefit from

An Extension of Healthcare Teams

Nurses & healthcare professionals rely on TLC for Kids as an extension of their team. They keep us informed of where the gaps are forming, and what services are really needed

Australian Owned

We are wholly Australian-owned and operated, which means that all our funds are directed to helping sick kids and their families in Australia. We have expanded our Rapid Service nationwide and extended services to ambulances and have introduced TLC Ambulance to South Australia in addition to Victoria.

Lean & Efficient Model

Our process innovations allow us to run on extraordinarily lean operating costs, reaching and supporting kids nearly a million times each year from a base of only 5 full time staff and a handful of part-time staff, as well as volunteers
