Our Current Project

ACT & Region

There are two current projects for the Canberra Region: 1. we are urging people to donate funds so we can purchase a new live video streaming system for the Canberra neonatal and special care nursery called Angel Eye. This will replace the aging NICUcam for which technical support ceased in November 2022. Research has shown that if a mum can see a live streaming of her baby in the NICU or SCN, she has reduced separation anxiety, feels more comfortable spending time with her other children and finds it easier to express. You can donate HERE 2. we are currently running our Baubles for Babies fundraiser to raise funds for the purchase of two Bilicocoons to enable babies suffering from jaundice to be treated in the comfort of their own home. Visit our Christmas tree and purchase a virtual bauble of your choice to the tree! Baubles start from just $20 and every bauble purchased comes with the ability for you to upload a photograph and write a Christmas message to a loved one. Every purchase of a virtual bauble will come with a tax-deductible receipt, and more importantly, you will be helping us raise the funds necessary to buy two Bilicocoons .

Central Gippsland

Thank you. We have raised the funds for 10 Wellington Sofa beds for the Maternity Unit at Sale Hospital. They are due to arrive in March 2024. Our current project is to fund an ultrasound for Sale Hospital’s Maternity Unit.

East Gippsland

We will be raising money for a fourth Neocot for Bairnsdale Hospital’s Maternity Unit.
