Telethon 2024: Breaking Records and Changing Lives for WA’s Children
The Channel Seven Perth Telethon, a beloved annual tradition in Western Australia since 1968, has once again rallied the community for an unforgettable weekend of fundraising. This year’s event raised a record-breaking $83,264,216, setting a new high for the 26-hour live broadcast that united the state in generosity and compassion for WA children in need.
For over five decades, this initiative has been a major event in Western Australia, raising more than $650 million since its inception. Every cent raised is channeled into a range of charities dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of children, funding critical services, hospital equipment, and life-enhancing opportunities for kids with disabilities or facing significant challenges.
The broadcast is as much a showcase of community spirit as it is a charity event, and it consistently attracts a roster of Australian celebrities, Seven Network stars, and even international icons who join the broadcast to show their support. Past guests have included Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Hugh Jackman, lending their star power to raise awareness and encourage donations.

The Telethon Home 2024
Each year, a WA home builder generously donates a house for auction, with 100% of the proceeds going to support children in need. The 2024 Home was designed and built by Blueprint Homes in Satterley’s Clementine Estate in Upper Swan, located 35km from Perth’s CBD
This year’s home is a stunning, brand-new property featuring four bedrooms and two bathrooms, positioned in the beautiful Clementine Estate. It sold for $1,175,000, with every dollar supporting children’s health initiatives.
As Telethon 2024 is now wrapped up, the record total reminds us of all the power of community. Every dollar raised will make a difference, providing life-changing opportunities and resources to children in Western Australia. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this year a monumental success!
