SIDS and Kids
SIDS and Kids is an international leader in promoting infant health. We deliver on our vision through world class research; evidence based education and bereavement support and advocacy.
The SIDS and Kids Safe Sleeping program has been instrumental in reducing the SIDS infant mortality rate in Australia by 85% since its inception in 1990.
SIDS and Kids provide bereavement support to families who have experienced the sudden and unexpected death of a baby or child, regardless of the cause. Our bereavement counselling is offered free-of-charge 24 hours a day to all families. Approximately 9 children under 4 years of age die in Australia every day. Up to 60 people are affected by the death of a child making demand for our services high.
SIDS and Kids objectives are to further fund research into stillbirth and sudden infant death in infants (SUDI).
