Hungry Jack’s & Make-A-Wish Australia
The incredible nationwide effort that brings Hungry Jack’s customers, crew, suppliers and RSC staff together to create hope and joy for critically ill kids across the country.
A mission critical partnership
At the heart of this partnership is Hungry Jack’s annual campaign, a powerful, nationwide movement that has brought millions of people together to create hope and joy for wish kids. Communities across Australia unite in an inspiring show of generosity, including purchasing unique Stars ranging from $2 to $1,000, each one helping make life-changing wishes possible.
In 2026, the Hungry Jack’s campaign was a record breaker, with over 316,000 Stars sold in stores nationwide, raising more than $2.8 million. This record breaking result supports the continued granting of life-changing wishes for critically ill children across Australia, thanks to the help of Hungry Jack’s and its dedicated customers, employees, and suppliers.
Year after year, Hungry Jack's has continued to grow the campaign. It remains our largest single fundraiser with $13 million raised since 2021.
Creating impact
We are so grateful for the support of more than 470 Hungry Jack’s restaurants, suppliers, customers and supporters nationwide, highlighting the power of community.
"We're incredibly proud of what we have achieved together this year. The unwavering spirit of giving and power of our stellar Hungry Jack’s community truly embody our core value to ‘make a difference’.” says Chris Green, CEO of Hungry Jack's.
The generosity shown by local communities and the dedicated Hungry Jack’s team throughout this campaign has been extraordinary. The incredible amount raised helps us create unforgettable moments for wish children and their families, giving them hope and joy during some of the toughest times imaginable.

Community support
As part of another record breaking fundraising campaign, Hungry Jack’s continues to grow its support through innovative initiatives that bring the community together to help grant wishes.
In 2026 Hungry Jack’s hosted its second golf day, bringing suppliers and teams together and raising close to $200,000 in support of Make-A-Wish in one day, through activities including sponsored holes and a live auction. The annual golf day helps to strengthen connections across the Hungry Jack’s community while celebrating a shared commitment to granting wishes of sick kids.
Hungry Jack’s is also working in partnership with Adyen, a global payments company. Their Round Up initiative makes it easy for customers to donate via EFTPOS at drive-through, in-store, online or via delivery. Adyen also matches every dollar contributed, doubling the impact of customer generosity. Over the campaign period alone, nearly $50,000 was raised, demonstrating how small everyday acts can make a big difference. Read the FAQ's for more.
This year, Hungry Jack's also donated $1 to Make-A-Wish Australia from the sale of every water bottle purchased in store.
