For Families Services via Health Professionals
Some of our services are accessed directly through health professionals in the hospital
At Life’s Little Treasures Foundation we provide services and resources to 152 hospitals with a NICU or SCN every year.
Some of these services can only be accessed through your team of nurses, doctors, social workers and other allied health professionals while in hospital with your baby. Ask your team about the resources they have available and also about applying for the programs listed.

Family Assistance Program
Having a baby in hospital long term, or being located far away from home, can mean that parents are not only dealing with the stress of caring for their baby, but are also having to manage the financial pressures associated with this. Through our Financial Assistance Program we can assist with travel costs, accommodation and food expenses so parents get to spend more precious time with their baby.
Hospital staff can apply for a Financial Assistance package on behalf of families so they can receive a $250 voucher to spend on fuel, groceries or accommodation. Please note families must meet the criteria to access this service.
