2025 marks a significant milestone as Starlight and Virgin Australia celebrate 15 years of our Wishgranting partnership.
Virgin has been a proud partner of Starlight since 2010 and in that time, has helped grant over 3,000 Starlight Wishes bringing lasting happiness to seriously ill children and their families.
To mark this milestone, Starlight children and their families enjoyed an unforgettable experience - Happiness in the Heart of Australia.
Travel wishes are our most popular wish choice and the Virgin team both on-the-ground and in-the-air go above and beyond to create unforgettable wish experiences for every family.
This milestone trip to Uluru was no exception with the team helping to make the dreams of Starlight kids and families a reality by taking them to the spiritual heart of Australia.
Our thanks also to Voyages Indigenous Tourism for their incredible support helping to create so many enriching cultural activities and experiences to make this trip truly unforgettable.
