Starlight Children's Foundation Australia brightens the lives of seriously ill and hospitalised children and young people by replacing pain, fear and stress with fun, joy and laughter. Starlight's vision is that everyone experiences a happy childhood because happiness matters.

Since 1988, Starlight has expanded to become the broadest reaching children’s charity in Australia. There is now a Starlight Express Room in every children’s hospital in the country, where Captain Starlight helps kids forget about everything they're going through and just be kids. 

At Starlight our most important responsibility is to ensure our programs are provided in an environment that is caring, nurturing and safe for all children and young people. We are very proud that we've been awarded full Safeguarding Children accreditation through the Australian Childhood Foundation.

Starlight has been recognised as an Employer of Choice over the years, most recently with a Great Place to Work accreditation in 2023.  In the 2022 McKinsey Organisational Health Index, Starlight was in the top decile globally for 8 out of 9 outcomes. Starlight were also the Australian Financial Review's Most Innovative Company in the Government, Education and NFP category.  

In 2022, Starlight delivered 1,303,775 total positive experiences to seriously ill children, young people and their families.
