About Us
A community built around families
The Smiley Reilly Project is an Australian not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting families who have experienced the devastating loss of a baby or young child.
The organisation focuses on creating positive, compassionate experiences for bereaved families and helping people find connection with others who understand the unique journey of child loss.
Rather than allowing grief to become an isolated experience, the Project seeks to create moments of connection, encouragement and hope.
Why We Exist
Losing a child can change a family's life permanently. The Smiley Reilly Project exists to provide a supportive community where bereaved families can connect, participate in positive experiences and know that they are not alone.
The Project's philosophy recognises that even small moments of happiness and connection can provide meaningful hope while families navigate their new path in life.
Our Mission
Supporting families after child loss
Our work is centred on compassion, connection, positive experiences and practical community support.
Connection
Helping bereaved families connect with people and other families who understand their experiences.
Support
Providing compassionate community-based support and positive experiences for families following child loss.
For Bereaved Families
You do not have to navigate grief alone.
Families who experience the loss of a baby or young child often face a new and unexpected journey. The Smiley Reilly Project aims to provide opportunities for connection and positive experiences during that journey.
The Project brings families together through activities and community experiences designed to encourage connection and create moments of happiness.

Ongoing Community

Community
Connection can make a difference
One of the most important aspects of the Project's work is helping families discover that other people understand what they are experiencing.
Community connection may include opportunities for families to:
- meet other families affected by child loss;
- participate in positive shared experiences;
- receive compassionate practical outreach;
- access community activities;
- build relationships with people who understand their journey;
- find moments of hope and encouragement.
The Project recognises that every family's experience of grief is different. Participation is therefore centred on compassion, choice, respect and community.
