Telethon is one of Western Australia's most loved children's charities. Since 1968, Telethon has raised over $70 million for children and young people throughout Western Australia. In 2007, Telethon celebrates its 40th Anniversary - 40 years of dedication to the children of Western Australia.

Throughout the year, Telethon conducts a range of fundraising events culminating in a live 24-hour charity appeal - The Telethon Weekend.

The Telethon Weekend has grown to become the most significant television charity appeal in Australia and the most successful fundraising event per capita, in the world.

Telethon has partnered with the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research since 1994 and continues to play an integral role in the on-going success of the Institute as a recognised leader in its field.

Each year, the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research receives substantial funding from Telethon and this commitment is reflected in the naming of the Institute.

Without the support of the Western Australian community and Telethon, the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research would not be able to conduct the ground-breaking research into childhood diseases and disabilities that it does today.
