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.
‘You can in Jan’ Volunteer Drive
What better way to start off the new year than by doing something good for yourself by doing something good for others! 🙏🧡
Parents, have you had a premature or sick baby? Would you like to help others through this difficult journey? As part of our ‘You Can in Jan’ volunteer recruitment drive, we’re seeking passionate, motivated parents who draw on their lived experience to provide support, encouragement and a listening ear to parents who have a baby in the hospital. We are looking to grow our team of parent volunteers for our online NICU Connections Peer Support Group, especially in need of dad volunteers for our new group just for dads.
To be part of the change and make a lasting positive difference in the lives of others, please sign up below.
Please get in touch if you’d like more information on 0432 024 105 or email [email protected]
COMING SOON! A support group just for Dads
At LLTF we have long recognised the need for Dads to get together with each other to share their stories and concerns about having a premature or sick baby within a supportive environment.
Our new NICU Connections group will give Dads an opportunity to connect with current Dads as well as those who have already been through it, to share advice, tips and experiences on coping in NICU and beyond. The group will be run through our private Facebook chat Group and you can log in from anywhere, whether it’s by your baby’s side in hospital, a local cafe or the comfort of your couch. Reaching out and connecting with other Dads like you has never been easier.
Head over to Facebook and look for Life’s Little Treasures NICU Connections for Dads to sign up, or sign up below.

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!!
