On one very special night each year, the Monash Health Foundation hosts a spectacular evening of entertainment and fundraising in support of Monash Children’s Hospital.
This year's Shine Gala will be held on Saturday 13 June 2026 at Sofitel Melbourne on Collins.
Your invitation
Join us in 2026 as we bring the Monash Children’s Hospital Gala to Sofitel Melbourne on Collins.
This incredible evening will raise funds to support children born with a cleft lip and/or palate — a congenital condition that can affect a baby’s ability to feed, speak and hear.
These children often face long-term, complex treatment journeys involving multiple surgeries and ongoing care throughout childhood. Your support will ensure more families receive the specialised treatment and guidance they need.
What your ticket includes
- A sumptuous 5-star, three-course meal with drinks all night
- Spectacular performances by some of Australia’s most well-known artists
- Live music, dancing and immersive entertainment
- Opportunities to secure exclusive items through raffles, silent auctions and live auctions
Dress code: Black Tie
Ticket price: $360 (incl. GST) + booking fee
Your Impact
Funds raised will support patients and their families in our Paediatric Cleft and Craniofacial Anomalies Service at Monash Children’s Hospital, just like young Weston, with:
- New 3D printing for precise documenting and surgical planning.
- Patient-held care plans to support and empower families along their journey.
- Introduction of a dedicated Clinical Psychologist to support mental health and wellbeing.
- An additional Speech Therapist to improve language and developmental outcomes.
- Introduction of a Child Life Therapist to ease anxiety during clinical procedures.
