About Organisation

Very Special Kids provides specialist palliative care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and tailored support for their families – through life, death and bereavement. Our integrated approach includes emotional, clinical and practical support to help improve quality of life and create positive, lasting memories.

We understand every child’s experience with a life-limiting condition is unique, and every family requires tailored support specific to their family’s journey. As Victoria’s only children’s hospice, our holistic services support more than 850 families across Victoria.

HeartKids is not affiliated with this support group or organisation. It is the responsibility of the individual and/or their carer(s) to determine whether this or any other organisation on this website may provide some benefit to them.
