A children’s centre for seriously ill children in Canberra

The Stella Bella Children's Centre is the first in Canberra to provide places for seriously ill children aged five and under. The new centre was made possible through corporate fundraising and volunteer support.

One section of the centre will accommodate up to 30 children in mainstream care. Their fees will help fund up to 15 children in the Galahs unit, named after Stella Bella Foundation’s founder, Suzanne Tunk’s baby Stella's totem animal, where care and respite is provided by paediatric nurses to ill kids.
