Our Programs

We are Australia's only national provider of healthcare clowning programs.

Backed by scientific research on the benefits of laughter on health and well-being, our work brings together Healthcare and The Arts to improve mental health, resilience and health outcomes for those who need it, when they need it most.

We're committed to ongoing research and evaluation to ensure your fundraising efforts create real value and a positive impact on the lives of children, the ageing community, their families and healthcare workers.

Clown Doctors are trusted companions in care, transforming clinical spaces into places of courage, resilience and hope.

With empathy, imagination and a deep understanding of the hospital environment, Clown Doctors help children navigate fear and pain through laughter, play and connection.

They distract during painful procedures, ease anxiety in emergency departments, and bring a joyful presence during long hospital stays. Clown Doctors bring warmth and wonder into moments that can otherwise feel cold and clinical.

In aged care homes and hospitals, our Laughter Care Specialists bring warmth, wit and a whole lot of heart to our ageing community - especially those living with dementia or experiencing social isolation.

Through creative engagement, music, storytelling and playful humour, they rekindle identity, spark joy and build bridges between residents, patients, families and care staff.

These moments of connection are transformative, and they ripple outward - changing the atmosphere of entire facilities.
