Why do we need Red Nose Day?
Every day across Australia, 9 babies and young children die suddenly and unexpectedly. We’re losing them to SIDS and stillbirth, among other things. This devastating loss is indescribable.

Why Red Nose Day?
In 1988, the first Red Nose Day was held, asking Australians to “get silly for a serious cause” to raise awareness about SIDS. This event quickly became a national fundraising initiative, helping to finance research and support programs for grieving families. During this time, Red Nose launched its health promotion campaigns and bereavement support services, reaching more families across the country.
