Every child deserves a happy, healthy future
A gift in your Will to The Kids Research Institute Australia is a powerful way to support groundbreaking research that improves the lives of children and families. It’s a legacy of hope, health, and possibility.
By supporting research that prevents disease, personalises treatments and gives every child the chance to grow up healthy and strong, your generosity helps create a future where all kids can thrive.

How to leave a gift
Leaving a gift in your Will is easier than you may think. It’s a meaningful way to create a lasting impact for the causes you care about. Speak with your solicitor, a trusted financial adviser, or use an online platform like Safewill to ensure your wishes are carried out with confidence.
We recommend discussing your intentions with loved ones so that they understand and respect your wishes.
Step 1: Request an information pack
Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and a member of our team will contact you with more information.
Step 2: Consider your loved ones and the causes that matter most
Think about the people and causes that have shaped your life and matter to you — your family, your friends, and the charities close to your heart. Including a gift in your Will is one of the most meaningful ways to celebrate that connection and create a lasting legacy.
Step 3: Decide what type of gift you’d like to leave
- Residual gift: A share, or all, of what remains in your estate once your loved ones have been provided for, and all debts, taxes and expenses have been paid.
- Percentage gift: A proportion of your estate. You don’t need to know its exact future value, only the percentage you wish to leave.
- Specific gift: A gift of a particular item or asset, such as property, shares or other valuables.
- Pecuniary gift: A fixed amount of your choosing, noting that its future value may vary over time.
Step 4: Make or update your Will
Your solicitor can create a new Will or update your existing one to include a gift to The Kids Research Institute Australia. We can provide suggested wording to help make sure your intentions are recorded correctly.
We have also partnered with Safewill, Australia’s leading online Will‑writing platform, to offer our supporters a bespoke Will at a discounted rate.
Step 5: Notify your loved ones and The Kids
Tell your family, executors and guardians about your wishes. If you feel comfortable, please let us know too – we would love to thank you personally and keep you connected to the impact your generosity will make. When you inform us that you’ve included a gift in your Will, you’ll be welcomed into the Fiona Stanley Circle, named in honour of our visionary Founding Director.
