Organisation Summary

Supertee helps children facing serious illness feel brave during hospital treatment.

When children undergo medical procedures, the experience can be frightening and overwhelming. Traditional hospital gowns can make children feel vulnerable and exposed at a time when they most need comfort and confidence.

Supertee has developed adaptive medical garments disguised as imaginative costumes that allow doctors and nurses to access treatment equipment while helping children feel strong through imagination during difficult procedures.

Since launching in 2020, Supertee has partnered with hospitals across Australia to deliver garments to children undergoing treatment for cancer, chronic illness and other serious conditions. Each Supertee is designed in collaboration with clinicians to ensure medical access while preserving dignity and comfort for the child.

Our mission is to bring strength through imagination to children in hospital.

Funding enables Supertee to produce and deliver these garments to hospitals so more children can receive a Supertee during their treatment journey. Every $52 provides a Supertee for a child, helping transform a difficult hospital experience into one where they can feel brave, empowered and supported.

As demand continues to grow across Australian hospitals, philanthropic support plays a vital role in allowing Supertee to reach more children and families during some of the most challenging moments of their lives.
