Welcome Back!

You have Gifts for Good in your basket.

Welcome Back!

Last time you were here, you were looking to help vulnerable children and families. Your support can save and change lives.

Include a gift in your Will to help create a healthier and safer future for children.

Including a gift in your Will helps bring us a step closer to a world free from childhood poverty.

Every gift left in a Will produces a chain reaction: your legacy will have a lasting impact on children living in disadvantaged communities around the world. Together, we can create a healthier and safer future for all children.

The Healthy Futures Fund

If you decide to include a gift in your Will to ChildFund Australia, you will become a member of the Healthy Futures Fund. These are a group of supporters who fund solutions to the most pressing issues affecting children. Your gift is multiplied by grant funding and then invested to transform communities with long term sustainable solutions for children today and future generations.Learn More

It takes less than 10 minutes to create your legacy! Write your will for free

We have partnered with Australia’s top online Will-writing platform, Gathered Here. You have the opportunity to write your Will for free (plus free updates for life).

If you need more detailed estate planning support, we suggest contacting a local solicitor or public trustee so that your paperwork is in order. If you decide to include a gift to ChildFund Australia in your Will, all you or your solicitor needs is our name and ABN: ChildFund Australia / ABN: 79 002 885 761. Here is some suggested wording which you can take to your solicitor for guidance.

Once you’ve completed your Will, please let us know so we can welcome you and keep you updated on our work.
