At Very Special Kids, we believe that all children and young people have the right to quality of life, no matter how long or short their life may be.

	 

	When it comes to navigating the difficult journey of life-limiting childhood illness, we understand experiences are unique to each child and family, and we tailor our services to their needs.

	 

	We are always by each family's side, with specialised and comprehensive support systems so they can create the positive experiences that become lasting memories.

	 

	We are changing the way society deals with terminal childhood illnesses.

	 

	As one of Victoria's leaders in holistic children's palliative care, we are working to make the world a better, more supportive and knowledgeable place for children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families.

	 

	Children with life-limiting conditions are brave, strong and very, very special.

	 

	If you are a Very Special Kid, or love one who is, we are here for you.
