Siblings Australia is a unique national organisation committed to enhancing the wellbeing of the siblings of children with disabilities and chronic illness.

Growing up with siblings who have special needs creates enormous pressures that can go unnoticed by parents, friends and support services. This can make children feel isolated, guilty, angry and confused, and leave them vulnerable to a range of emotional and health problems, which can continue into adulthood.

Siblings Australia aims to give siblings a voice and the knowledge that they are not alone; to give their families and supporters a better idea of how they can help; and to raise the issue of sibling needs wherever and whenever we can.

It is our mission to assist siblings to become acknowledged, connected and more resilient.
