Building a better and brighter future for WA kids
In our 59th year, Telethon remains dedicated to supporting sick, vulnerable and disadvantaged children across Western Australia. Through the generosity of our community, we fund life-changing medical research, vital equipment and programs that create brighter futures for those who need it most.
Soon, we’ll be sharing more about the impact your generosity is making and highlighting the real difference our community creates for WA kids every year.
Join us on 17 and 18 October 2026 for Telethon Weekend, a celebration of hope, resilience and the power of coming together to make a difference. Together, we can change lives and help WA kids thrive.
