Welcome

Very Special Kids provides flexible family support programs, planned and emergency respite and end-of-life care for families caring for a child with a life-threatening illness. 

We have a range of flexible programs including counselling, sibling support and bereavement support provided by professional staff and trained volunteers. 

You can help support Victorian families in need by making a secure donation online, fundraising, becoming a supporter and in a variety of other ways. 

When a child has a life-threatening illness it impacts on the whole family. We use a family-centred approach that recognises the strengths and individuality of each member of the family.........
