Who we are
Stella Bella Foundation is a registered Australian charity. We brighten the lives of children in the ACT region, and beyond, who are living with serious and long-term illnesses. We offer support and assistance to these children and their families, regardless of their diagnosis.
What we do
Our programs are designed to support families during their toughest times. Our programs include:
Care & Respite
A chance for seriously ill children to experience the joys of childhood in a safe, happy and nurturing environment while providing their parents with much-needed respite.
Family Support
Tailored support for families while caring for their seriously ill child. Financial support, meals, family camps and outings, and bereavement support.
Stella Bella Children’s Centre
A unique childcare concept, with mainstream childcare rooms, and a specialised care unit for chronically ill babies and children providing inclusive access to education and care.
The Little Star Beads Program
Special beads offer little rewards to children for their medical procedures and milestones. The beads are strung together to tell the story of each child’s personal medical journey.
The Stella Bella team were by our side from the day Lexie was born and beyond. This is one of the best programs to support families going through a rough time and we are forever grateful’
