What We Do

Juiced TV is an Australian first entertainment initiative that benefits the health and wellbeing of sick kids and their families in hospital, one episode at a time. 

The program began in January 2015 at the Queensland Children’s Hospital. Since then it has directly touched the lives of more than 3,500 patients and their families by improving the hospital journey and creating a unique way for them to engage and communicate with one another.

We have received a great amount of support from local and international bodies in the past two years. The entertainment, experiences and guests we welcomed to the hospital for our kids has included Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston straight off the set of Thor, Justin Timberlake, Johnny Depp appearing on the show as Captain Jack Sparrow, and most recently Their Royal Highnesses, The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.

How We Do It

Days of 'Hands on Happiness'

Every week we are creating days of 'Hands on Happiness' to create the content for our 25-minute episodes of kids TV that is broadcast each week. These are filming days which give patients and their siblings the chance to star in their own TV show.

The Juiced TV team co-ordinate and produce all days of 'hands on happiness' on location at the hospital ranging from musical workshops, cooking, animal encounters and hospital staff profiles, and of course the special occasions where patients meet their favourite celebrities.

 

Experiences Outside of Hospital Walls

The Juiced Crew also create amazing experiences outside of hospital walls for patients and siblings, often bringing to life special requests from patients such as meeting their favourite sporting or big screen idols, and swimming with dolphins.

One of the best things about these experiences outside of hospitals walls, is that everything is filmed and broadcast within a Juiced TV episode, creating a memory to share far and wide, and last many years to come.
