HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
We are Australia’s foremost charity dedicated to providing support, friendship and information, specifically tailored for families of premature or sick babies.
Our Vision:
To ensure that all families enduring the difficult and life-changing experience of having a premature or sick baby have easy access to critical information and community support to help make a difference to them and their child.
Our Services:
Education and information for parents are crucial to getting the best possible outcomes for premature and sick babies; it empowers families and enables them to become their child’s advocate. We support families in hospital (Neonatal Intensive Care and Special Care Units) and in the community when families come home.
Our Community:
The Life’s Little Treasures Foundation is built around #familieshelpingfamilies. Our community are supportive, passionate and generous and is made up of families, friends, health professionals and supporters who all understand and care because they have been there too.
JUNE TAX APPEAL
The emotional pressure of having a new baby stay in hospital for weeks or months takes a toll. With 48,000 babies born premature or sick every year in Australia, that’s a lot of families who then struggle with the emotional and financial pressure of juggling this unexpected and life-changing journey.
Our Financial Assistance Package supports 120 families a year with a package that includes a $250 Gift Card to pay for groceries, petrol and parking. Over the past 12 months, we have distributed more than $30,000 to families.
Through our Tax Appeal, we aim to raise $30,000 to help families through 2022-2023 with the unexpected costs of having a premature or sick baby. Please help us fund our Financial Assistance Program for families.

KIND WORDS FROM FAMILIES WE’VE HELPED
The support we received from life’s little treasures during our hospital stay was amazing, the app was a godsend, with this new foreign language in an easy to read form with meanings, section for notes, updates on weight feeding etc, I will never be able to thank life’s little treasures enough for their support
Amanda, mum
I wanted to pass on my congratulations on the special care nursery booklet. It’s fantastic and I have given out my first copy this evening to a young couple who have a premmie 3 days of age. It looks wonderful!!
