This month Starlight celebrates an incredible milestone as we grant our 13,000th Starlight Wish!

In partnership with Virgin Australia, we have transformed the beautiful Hamilton Island into “Happiness Island” for ten amazing Starlight families.

With special guests, surprise appearances and activities galore in store, our families will enjoy an unforgettable weekend of VIP fun and laughter!

We can’t wait to bring you some fantastic stories from the weekend, as our families make memories to last a lifetime.
