Writing to Elliot provides a pleasant activity or distraction for children while in hospital or at home. Children often share their feelings and concerns with Elliot, or ask the sorts of questions they may not feel comfortable asking anyone else.
Many children and their siblings continue writing to Elliot when they have finished treatment, which provides some continuity for children that may be useful to adjusting to life after treatment.
How To Send A Letter To Elliot
Children and their siblings can write letters to Elliot and post them either at the Childhood Cancer Association office, at the Women's & Children's Hospital, or via Australia Post or email.
Send your letters to Elliot via:
- the letterbox at the Childhood Cancer Association Office
- the letterbox in the clinic waiting room at the Michael Rice Centre for Haematology and Oncology in the Women’s & Children’s Hospital

If you would like Elliot to reply, please ensure the letters are clearly identified with the child’s full name and address. Elliot is not able to respond to unidentifiable letters or to letters from children who have not been referred to our services.
