Every child deserves the chance to simply be a child

To keep everyone safe

To keep our children safe and comply with hospital policies, there are some items we unfortunately cannot accept, including:

• Second-hand toys and anything not recently purchased
• Items containing button batteries
• Political, controversial or religious items
• Toys that depict violence or weapons (for example: toy guns, Nerf guns, swords)
• Items with sharp edges
• Choking hazards
• Wooden toys
• Food items (including baby formula), toxic items, latex or scented items
• Knitted blankets.

For the safety and privacy of patients and families, members of the public cannot deliver gifts directly to children in hospital. All donations are received by the Women’s & Children’s Hospital Foundation and distributed in partnership with the Women’s & Children’s Health Network to ensure they reach those who need them most.

Due to safety protocol, all items must be brand new and remain unwrapped to assess suitability. This also helps us ensure your donation gets to the right patient.
