Kids just want to be kids, but instead of playing sports with their friends or catching butterflies on a sunny day, these kids are getting liver transplants, taking dozens of medications, or getting their next dose of chemotherapy. It shouldn’t be this way. You can help the scientists at Children’s Medical Research Institute find cures, so these kids can go back to being kids.

Every dollar you donate goes directly to Children’s Medical Research Institute and helps find treatments and cures for children’s genetic diseases. We can’t do it without you.

Children's Medical Research Institute was the first organisation in Australia dedicated to improving children’s health through research, and we’ve led the world for over 60 years.

1 in 20 children face a birth defect or genetic disease. Finding treatments and cures can only come from vital research, like that being done in our labs.
