Lindfield Public School Donation

Lindfield Public School Donation

Thank you for supporting Stewart House – the NSW Department of Education’s “Charity of Choice”

Children attend Stewart House at no cost. Your donation helps make our 12-day program accessible to children from public schools across NSW and the ACT, covering direct costs only.

Stewart House is a registered Australian charity with DGR status. Donations over $2 are tax-deductible, and a tax-compliant receipt is emailed directly.

   The Stewart House Program provides access to free health, dental, optical and audiological care, emotional support, and essential items such as clothing and toiletries in a safe, nurturing environment.
   The NSW Department of Education operates an onsite School for Specific Purpose (SSP) for students during school hours, providing infrastructure and staffing support.  All other costs, including accommodation, meals, transport, recreation activities, and staff salaries, are met by Stewart House through targeted fundraising and donations.
   Each child’s 12-day stay costs around $2,000 to provide, but there is no fee to carers for children to attend. Only 8% of funding comes from government sources, with the remainder raised through donations and fundraising.  
   Stewart House relies on community support to meet annual operating costs of around $5 million each year.
