This morning Board Members Amber and Elisha attended the Telethon Beneficiary breakfast to celebrate Tiny Sparks inclusion as one of a record 136 beneficiaries!

It was marvellous to hear moving stories from the community about the impact donations to Telethon have. A really moving morning to be a part of. Telethon generously supports our Care Package program along with the Nurturing NICU Families program that we launched with Nicole Pates of Western Kids Health last year.

We are truly honoured to be year on year beneficiaries, something that we don’t take for granted and remain committed to forging a brighter future for children and families impacted by high-risk pregnancy and the Neonatal Unit in WA.

We are thrilled to spill the beans on a secret project that’s been almost 9 months in the making!

With the hugest of thanks to Telethon 7 and Nicole Pates of Western Kids Health we bring you Nurturing Regional NICU Families.

Aiming to close the gap for graduate NICU families living in rural, regional and remote areas of WA by providing free access to virtual therapist support and a unique, strength based, online program to build connection, improve bonding and work towards developmental milestones.

Eligible families will receive a 12 month Baby Play Academy membership, an online program created by paediatric physiotherapists, occupational therapists and psychologists to support your baby's development from birth to walking.

If you are living rural, regional or remote and have been discharged home in last few months (since 1/1/23) you are eligible to apply. The program is best commenced within a few weeks of returning home and the cut off point for participation will be adjusted each month.
