What is Stadium of Hope?
-
Last year, more than 42,000 children in Australia were confirmed to have experienced abuse or neglect. That’s the size of a packed crowd at Brisbane’s iconic Suncorp Stadium.
To shine a light on the scale of this issue, Act for Kids created Stadium of Hope – inviting families, businesses, and communities to purchase virtual seats for just $10 each (or $40 for a family of four, for instance) and help fill the Stadium of Hope in a united show of support.
Funds raised will provide essential Integrated Therapy Services – psychology, speech therapy, and occupational therapy – to children and families affected by trauma who would otherwise not have access.

How do I purchase a virtual seat?
-
To purchase a virtual seat, first select whether you wish to purchase as an individual/s, family or as an organisation. Then simply choose the number of virtual seats you wish to purchase and complete your details. All proceeds go directly to Act for Kids to fund essential therapy and support services.
-
-
Is my virtual seat a tax-deductible donation?
-
Yes, your purchase of a virtual seat in the Stadium of Hope is a tax-deductible donation. Act for Kids is a registered charity, and all donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible in Australia. After your purchase, you will receive a receipt via email which you can use for your tax records.
-
-
Is there a minimum or maximum number of seats I can purchase?
-
The minimum number of virtual seats you can purchase is one, and the maximum limit is 20. Additional donations on a seat purchase will be converted to represent seats. The more virtual seats you purchase in the Stadium of Hope, the bigger difference our therapists can make in the lives of children impacted by abuse and neglect.

-
Where does my donation go?
-
When you take your virtual seat in the Act for Kids Stadium of Hope, you’re helping kids through a tough time, and giving them every chance to thrive through our Integrated Therapy Services.
Trauma can impact how children learn, speak and connect. That’s why we bring together occupational therapists, speech therapists and psychologists to provide the right support at the right time.
Working with children impacted by harm or trauma is complex, but the sooner we start helping, the more chance we can change a child’s life for the future.
