The George on Collins is proud to invite you to a

The George on Collins is proud to invite you to a very special night! Enjoy an evening of roaming food from four Master Chefs, signature cocktails and entertainment by DJ Havana Brown and Bonnie Anderson. All while raising vital funds for the children and families in our care.

Very Special Kids parents Dean and Marissa will join the evening to share their personal story and memories of their daughter Allegra, who had a form of epilepsy called Dravet Syndrome.

“Allegra had some pretty serious moments in her life. Many seizures each day, a lot of it couldn’t be controlled with her medication. It’s just one of those life-changing conditions. We miss her every day. We get so much support from Very Special Kids, probably wouldn’t have coped as easily if we didn’t,” shares Dean.

Tickets are now available for Gather To Give. Learn more through the link in our bio.

Our very special therapy dog Jaffa played the perfect role as patient for 9-year-old, doctor Hannah! 👩‍⚕️ 🐕

The pair enjoyed some fun time playing with the stethoscope in the Very Special Kids Hospice ward and also went on adventures to the Monash Children’s Hospital playground. We are so thrilled to have this temporary space to provide clinical respite and foster positive, lasting memories for the children in our care!

Our resident physiotherapist Belinda recently had

Our resident physiotherapist Belinda recently had the privilege of visiting 12 children’s hospices across the United Kingdom & Ireland. The Churchill Fellowship program offered a chance for her to establish connections and learn from a broad range of professionals across the hospice team. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Belinda shares,

“The professionalism and generosity I experienced from everyone I spent time with was beyond anything I had ever anticipated. Enriching conversations, inspiring clinical expertise and fundamentally the highest quality of children’s palliative care. I have returned with an energy and passion for physiotherapy and paediatric palliative care like never before.

I look forward to being able to implement and share the knowledge I have gained to ensure Australian children and young people with life-limiting conditions receive best practice physiotherapy."

Weekends like the Bereaved Parent Weekend, offer a safe and welcoming environment for bereaved parents to share memories of their children, feel joy and express sadness with others who understand and can validate their emotions. 💕

Surrounded by nature and located in the secluded Hepburn Springs, the weekend was described by many as an emotional, heart-warming and confronting experience. One parent shared,

“It felt like we were able to spend a weekend with our child, to talk freely about them, our experiences, their memory, our grief, loneliness and to express our love for our child in a safe and supportive way.

At the close of the weekend, we left feeling like we were able to breathe a little lighter again, like we'd been supported to enable us to let out a little of what we hold so deeply within.”
