The Magic Coat Foundation Named a 2025 Telethon Beneficiary


We are delighted to share that The Magic Coat Foundation has been named a 2025 Telethon7 Beneficiary! This incredible recognition and support will enable us to elevate our Hospital Adventure App, developed in collaboration with Perth Children’s Hospital, to new heights.

The app is specifically designed to support children preparing for surgery by helping them understand what to expect and providing tools to manage the big emotions they may experience along the way. Not only is it making a positive impact on children, but early research suggests it’s also easing anxiety for their parents.

With Telethon’s backing, we’re thrilled to announce plans to make the app neurodiverse-friendly and multilingual, allowing us to support even more children and families across diverse needs and backgrounds.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Telethon7 for believing in our mission and empowering us to continue making a difference in the lives of children.

The app design is powered by the talented team at Viper Metrics, and we’re so excited for what’s ahead. Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this exciting journey!
