This November, as Australia marks Bereaved Siblings Month, The Wiggles invited a group of special Red Nose families, those with bereaved siblings, to attend their The Wiggles Tree of Wisdom Big Show Arena Spectacular! and enjoy an exclusive meet and greet with The Wiggles cast.
The initiative shines a spotlight on the often-overlooked experiences of children who have lost a brother or sister and celebrates the compassionate partnership between The Wiggles and Red Nose Australia, who have long worked together to support grieving families and promote safer sleep for babies for over 35 years.
Bereaved Siblings Month is important to many
Among those taking part is Dominic Field, who plays the Tree of Wisdom in The Wiggles’ live shows and is himself a bereaved sibling.
“Before I was born, my sister Bernadette died of SIDS,” says Dominic. “She’s been a constant presence in my life, even though I never got to meet her. I’ve grown up knowing the incredible work Red Nose does to help families like mine.”
Bereaved Siblings Month is an opportunity to acknowledge and support children and young people who grieve the death of a sibling, a loss that can deeply shape their understanding of family, love, and connection.
How Red Nose Helps Bereaved Siblings
Red Nose provides a range of programs specifically for bereaved siblings and their families, including:
Puggles Playgroups – gentle, supportive spaces where young children can play and connect.
Family-friendly remembrance activities such as the Walk to Remember events.
Specialist counselling and group support to help families navigate grief together.
Amy Cooper, CEO of Red Nose Australia, said that having The Wiggles as ambassadors for Red Nose helps raise awareness and open conversations with families and children in a way that feels inclusive and caring.
“The Wiggles have such a unique way of connecting with children,” said Ms Cooper. “Having them champion this cause helps families feel seen and supported, and reminds bereaved siblings that their stories matter.”
Red Nose invites families, educators, and communities to take a moment this November to learn more about Bereaved Siblings Month and the supports available.
