STARLIGHT 2017 REVIEW
A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
On behalf of Starlight’s National Board, I wanted to pass on a huge thank you to all involved with Starlight.
The important work of Starlight can only be delivered with the support of many passionate individuals,
groups and organisations and we cannot thank you all enough for what you help us to do.
The National Board is incredibly pleased to report 2017 was another year when our all-important Starlight
programs supporting Australia’s seriously ill and hospitalised children grew significantly versus the prior
year. This growth is required to meet the increasing demand for our Starlight programs. Since 2013 our
program delivery has increased by over 80%.
2017 was also the second of our current 3-year strategic plan of Best Starlight: Best Impact, Best People,
Best Future and we have achieved significant progress against our strategic objectives. The plans are
approved and in place for us to continue to deliver and implement key projects in 2018. We are well on
track and have already started work on our planning to 2021.
At Starlight, ensuring the safety of children and young people is our most important responsibility. Our
National Board, Starlight Executive and the entire Starlight team are committed to safeguarding the
children and young people we support. We have all signed our commitment statement to Safe guarding
children and young people and we’re currently working with the Australian Childhood Foundation
towards gaining full Accreditation for Safeguarding Children by mid 2018.
Since our beginning Starlight’s mission has been to brighten the lives of Australia’s seriously ill and
hospitalised children. Whenever we are faced with a difficult question we are always guided by “what
would be best for these children and their families”. I believe this clarity of purpose is key to ensuring
Starlight programs give sick kids the chance to be simply be kids and have moments of childhood
returned to them, moments where fun, laughter and joy can exist.
In 2018 we will celebrate 30 years since Starlight was established by a visionary group of volunteers. I am
very proud to be the Chair of the current Board and thank all the Directors for being such committed and
passionate volunteers.
Thank you for all your support.
Warm wishes,
Murray Coleman OAM

STARLIGHT 2017 REVIEW
….AND FROM THE CEO
What we do at Starlight is so simple and yet so powerful. Every day we provide positive distraction and
positive experiences to children and families when they need it most. In 2017 528,816 positive Starlight
experiences supported these children and young people. The need for our programs continues to grow
and we estimate this will increase by up to 70% over the next 5 years.
Our growth has only been achieved with an amazing group of Starlight supporters including our Starlight
volunteers which includes our Starlight Board members. Thank you so much for enabling us to positively
impact lives every day.
During the year we marked an exciting milestone granting the 10,000th Starlight Wish to Syel, who
wanted to be a policeman like his heroes on the TV shows he loves. It was so wonderful to see the joy on
Syel’s face – the same joy you always see on the faces of Starlight Wish children.
We opened new Starlight Express Rooms, in Darwin and Monash Children’s Hospitals; launched our new
Livewire online community of adolescent peer support…and so much more.
A highlight in 2017 was the new branding of Starlight’s Healthier Futures Initiative – our program
supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families. An artwork representing the
Starlight story has been created with “the child” as a shooting star radiating positivity and resilience. As the
child shines brighter so does the community surrounding the child.
It was a year when we launched Starlight’s first Reconciliation Action Plan. Starlight’s vision for
reconciliation is to embed values of awareness, acknowledgement and respect of Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander Peoples and their culture within Starlight so we contribute towards a just, equitable
and inclusive Australia. I am incredibly proud of the team for their contribution to this important and
collaborative project.
In 2017 Starlight stepped onto the world stage with our Livewire abstract being selected to be presented
at the 11th World Congress on Adolescent Health. The World Congress was attended by 1200 delegates
and provided a unique opportunity to foster innovative strategies for promoting the health and
development of adolescents.
It was a year when Starlight was again ranked in the top 10 most reputable charity brands in Australia and
importantly is the #1 ranked charity supporting children and young people.
Starlight was a top performer in the Great Place to Work survey – in fact Starlight remains the only charity
to ever be included in this prestigious list not once but twice. Thank you to the Starlight team who all
contribute to our positive culture everyday.
Last year we started planning for 2018 – a year when Starlight will celebrate 30 years of supporting
Australia’s sick kids. From one wish granted in 1988, Starlight is now integral to the total care delivered
to our children in hospitals around Australia every day. This is only achieved with the ongoing support of
individuals, community groups and businesses – your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Warmest wishes,
Louise Baxter
Chief Executive Officer
Starlight Children’s Foundation Australia

STARLIGHT’S
MISSION AND
STRATEGY
STARLIGHT’S MISSION
Our mission is achieved through a diverse range of programs developed to meet the growing and
changing needs of children and the health system.
Starlight works collaboratively with families, health professionals, volunteers, partners and
supporters to deliver our programs.
All Starlight programs are built on the World Health Organisation’s social model of health to
support the well-being and resilience of seriously ill children. Starlight programs are considered
by health professionals to be an integral part of the total health care of these children,
empowering them and their families to address the social and emotional aspects of living with
serious illness or injury.
Starlight’s long-term objective is to deliver our Starlight programs to achieve the
“ideal reach” within the constantly changing model of paediatric care. Our focus is to
grow sustainable revenue streams and our endowment reserves to fund this growth
and ensure Starlight program delivery continues into the future
STARLIGHT’S STRATEGY
The strategic framework Starlight has adopted to achieve its mission has 3 pillars:
Impact… to have a positive impact on the well-being of children and young people through
programs which:
• Innovate; create outstanding experiences; are based on need and have a strong evidence
base; are developed, delivered and evaluated in partnership with families and health
professionals
People… be recognised as having a talented, aligned and high performing team:
• All team members have the opportunity to grow and develop to be the best they can be
through positive psychology
Future… Starlight will be an innovative, digitally savvy organisation – agile, smart and mobile
