How it works

Step 1 - get in touch

Step 2 - parental consent

Step 3 - Medical approval

At the top of this page, select the option that best represents your relationship to the child you're referring. Complete the form that opens. It should take no longer than 5-10 minutes.

As part of our commitment to Child Safety, we also require a parent or legal guardian’s signature at this point, before getting in touch with your medical specialist. This step only applies if someone started the application on behalf of the child's parent or guardian.

Once we have parental consent, we’ll contact the child’s treating medical specialist to assess medical eligibility and approve the application. Please see eligibility criteria for more info.

Once the application is approved, we’ll work closely with your local Make-A-Wish volunteers, your family and the broader #WishForce community to capture and bring an incredible Wish Journey to life – with every wish as unique as the child who imagined it!
