About Little Wings

Little Wings is a nonprofit organization that provides free, professional and safe flight and ground transport services for sick children in rural and regional NSW. We strive to ease the journey and help sick children access specialised medical services and treatments that are only available in major cities or towns. We do everything we can to support families by easing the financial burden, emotional strain and travel fatigue that they experience due to the long-distance travel associated with receiving vital medical treatment.

Established in 2012, Little Wings started by providing services to children undergoing cancer treatment at The Children’s Hospital in Westmead, Sydney. Since then, our team has worked hard to extend our services to assist other seriously ill children receiving treatment at The Sydney Children’s Hospital Network and The John Hunter Children’s Hospital in Newcastle. It is our privilege to help families with regular, ongoing medical appointments to travel with ease, and we offer a welcome break to children during their treatment, by bringing them home for some much-needed quality time with family and friends. We believe in keeping families together during some of the most testing times of their lives. Together with our supporters and partners’ assistance and generosity, we will persevere with our mission of making a difference in the lives of sick children in regional New South Wales.
