Slide Background

At Clown Doctors Australia our purpose is to enhance wellbeing through the uplifting power of humour.

We’re working to create a future where people don’t fear hospital visits or ageing alone and through our Clown Doctors and Laughter Care programs, we are transforming care through imagination, creative play and moments of authentic human connection. What we do is grounded in science and delivered with heart.

Our Programs

Clown Doctors Australia delivers two world class programs, Clown Doctors and Laughter Care. In hospitals, hospices and aged care facilities across Australia, these programs transform care through imagination, creative play and moments of authentic human connection.

Clown Doctors support children and young people in hospital and hospices. As trusted companions in care they transform clinical spaces into places of courage, resilience and hope, helping children navigate fear and pain through laughter, play and connection.

Laughter Care Specialists support older people in hospitals and aged-care facilities, especially those living with dementia or experiencing social isolation. Through creative engagement, music, storytelling and playful humour, they rekindle identity, spark joy and build bridges between patients, residents, families and care staff.
