The 2025 Nine Telethon has raised an extraordinary $10,005,545 for Mater Little Miracles, surpassing the goal of $9 million.

The incredible generosity of the Queensland community shone through as thousands united to support the critical care provided by Mater’s dedicated clinical teams. This record-breaking contribution will further strengthen Mater’s position as a national leader in neonatal intensive care and maternal-fetal medicine, ensuring more little miracles have a fighting chance.

The 2025 Nine Telethon was made extra special this year with the return of the Nine Telethon Concert supporting Mater Little Miracles on Wednesday night, headlined by the sensational Tones And I, with support from quintessential Aussie rock frontman Mark Seymour. It was a night of music, celebration and generosity, bringing the community together and driving momentum toward the huge fundraising total.
