Uniform Free Day for Radio Lollipop

For over 30 years, Transperth has been raising funds for Radio Lollipop through our Uniform Free Day – a network-wide dress-up day to encourage donations that go towards vital laugh support for children in WA hospitals.

Radio Lollipop is a charitable organisation that believes in the healing power of play and provides smiles and laughter to children in hospital, a time when they need it most.

On Uniform Free Day, you’ll see bus drivers, Transperth staff and volunteers dressed in their finest costumes, collecting donations on behalf of Radio Lollipop across Perth. 

Keep an eye out for our bus drivers, staff and volunteers in their biggest and brightest costumes on Wednesday 25 March 2026. Your donation will support Radio Lollipop in continuing to provide vital laugh support.

Since its inception in 1995, Transperth’s Uniform Free Day has raised over $1.5 million, with all funds collected going directly to the charity.

Uniform Free Day is a key source of funding for Radio Lollipop in WA and donations generated each year enable volunteers to provide care, comfort, play and entertainment to children in hospital.

The Radio Lollipop broadcasting service operates live each night from the Perth Children's Hospital studio and is streamed to satellite hospitals across the state. The programming is based on the requests of the children, who are encouraged to participate in activities, competitions and a variety of games.

Radio Lollipop volunteers spend one-on-one time with children through child-led interactive play, involving games, arts and crafts and music. Volunteers create laughter-filled moments that help children relax and reclaim a sense of joy during their hospital stay. This playtime can be transformative and offers families a moment of relief during challenging times.

Lollipop stands for “Lots of Love and Laughter in Place of Pain"
