The help we bring.
Hyundai Help for Kids is an initiative of Hyundai and Hyundai Dealers that lends a helping hand to young Australians and their families. By supporting a range of not-for-profit organisations, Hyundai provides critical support across areas of Community, Medical & Vehicle assistance.
Contributions.
Every time a new* Hyundai is sold, customers, along with Hyundai and its dealers, are giving a valuable contribution to children who need it most.
Vehicle assistance.
From transfers to and from specialist treatment, to airport pick-ups and event transfers, we offer our partners free access to our vehicles to support their essential services.
Bespoke benefits.
From money can't buy experiences to marketing support, we bring help to partners in other ways too. Committed to bringing awareness to a wide variety of important causes.
Clear and tangible outcomes.
Children are at the heart of everything we do. Our vital funding to grant recipients has reached over 100,000 children from respite care and cancer research to education and family support since 2014.
The Journey.
For some families it’s a long journey from research to after care and every stage in between. That’s why Hyundai Help for Kids has been here since 2014 to lend a helping hand when and where it’s needed most.

- New Beginnings
Diagnosis from the very beginning.
The job of diagnosing a disease – fully understanding the ways to spot it – is equally as important as treating it and curing it. That’s why we partner with the Kids Research Institute at Australia’s largest Children’s hospital at Westmead and Little Wings who fly sick or injured children and their families from remote areas into Sydney for specialised treatment.
Treatment through the tough times.
From clinical trials focused on finding and developing new treatments to providing a home away from home for sick children and their families during treatment, being there through the tough times is just what our partners do. That's why we support Children’s Cancer Institute and Ronald McDonald House Charities Australia. The Clown Doctors even bring much needed light hearted relief to help kids and their families through their journey.
Support through every stage.
For both the families and the children themselves knowing that they are not alone and there’s support looking out for them during their ordeal can have a huge impact on the outcome of their treatment. That’s why we partner with Make-a-wish Australia and use our corporate Sponsorships to bring money can’t buy experiences to kids all over Australia.
Empowerment through education.
Our partnerships go further still to cover as many areas of impact as we possibly can. Working with partners such as NextSense, formerly the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children, and Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation, we go beyond the treatment into early intervention programs aimed at empowerment through education.
New beginnings.
Every year, hundreds of seriously ill children will be diagnosed with life-limiting conditions. Hyundai Help for Kids proudly supports the Child Life Therapy program at Bear Cottage to allow families facing this tragic time to make the most of every precious moment.

Hyundai Dealers are franchise operations – they are not owned by Hyundai Motor Company Australia, but by separate independent companies. So it’s important to recognise each dealer’s contribution to this program.

You may use the Bluelink services after you have activated Bluelink and for a period of five (5) years beginning from the date of first registration of the new vehicle (“Complimentary Period”).

If you notify us that you do not wish to continue to use the Bluelink services at the end of your Complimentary Period, we have the right to disconnect your Bluelink device.
