Two brothers together.

Siblings Australia is committed to improving the support available for siblings of children and adults with chronic conditions including disability, chronic illness and mental health issues.

Siblings Australia is a unique national organisation promoting better support for siblings of children and adults with disability.  If siblings are acknowledged and connected to support, the sibling and in turn their family are likely to experience better outcomes.

Siblings have their own unique experiences and needs

Parents help siblings adjust and grow from their experiences

Professionals who support siblings contribute to better outcomes for the whole family.

Siblings Australia

  • Provide direct support to siblings.
  • Offer education and support, empowering parents to support their children.
  • Work with service providers within the health, education and disability sectors to assist them in providing more informed support to siblings.
  • Undertake advocacy for greater recognition of siblings in government policy and the community.
  • Promote and carry out research on issues relating to siblings and their families.
