Very Special Kids is a unique organisation that supports families throughout their experience of caring for children with life-threatening illnesses, from diagnosis through to recovery or bereavement. Such illnesses include a range of neuro-degenerative, genetic and rare conditions, muscular dystrophy and cancer.

Support services include counselling, sibling support, bereavement support, trained family support volunteers and care at Very Special Kids House - Victoria’s only and Australia’s first hospice for children (providing respite and end-of-life care).
It costs approximately $4 million per year to operate Very Special Kids. The organisation relies substantially on the generous support of the community to carry out its services, which are offered free-of-charge to families.
