TLC for kids is a registered Australian charity and deductable gift recipient (DGR), working with healthcare professionals to deliver the nation’s fastest, most tailored support to children and their families in hospitals.

On Thursday May 9th, George Donikian dropped in on Chris and Cam’s C & C Drive Factory program to talk about the work that TLC for kids does to help children in need of support.

TLC for kids programs provide support to children attending hospitals as in-patients and out-patients and in a variety of settings in hospitals and clinics eg. pathology, X-ray departments. There is often a lot of stress for children associated with these visits. The RAPID TLC program provides a response based on the high number of admissions and children attending hospitals, the lack of resources for children, the lack of other suitable services that address needs, and the urgency of response when the need is time dependent.
