Hungry Jack's Wishmaker
It starts with a Star! Help grant life-changing wishes when you become a Hungry Jack’s Wishmaker.
Since its origins 5 years ago, Wishmaker has raised over $7 million for Make-A-Wish Australia. This year, Wishmaker returns from 3 - 30 June 2025 to continue its all-important legacy of helping to bring hope and joy to sick kids.
You can purchase $2, $5, or $10 stars exclusively at Hungry Jack’s restaurants, drive-thrus, and via the Hungry Jack’s App, with 100 per cent of the funds helping to make wishes come true for critically ill kids across Australia like Cameron and Inayah.
Meet our Wishmaker stars!
Cameron, 12
"I wish to become a zoo vet for a day"
Inayah, 5
"I wish to transform into a real life princess"
Cameron, 12, osteogenic sarcoma
Wishmaker Star - Cameron, 12
While animal admirer, Cameron was being treated for his osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer), he could often be found at a local pet store. For hours, Cameron would gaze at the snakes, bearded dragons, and other creatures that brought him comfort during a tough time.
Growing up in a pet-friendly household, Cameron was instilled with a deep sense of respect and nurture for animals. Being separated from his many pets during his treatments only fueled his devotion to animal welfare and sparked his wish 'to become a zoo vet for a day'.

An animal adventure
Cameron's Wish
Through the Wishmaker campaign, Cameron was granted a fully customised experience at the zoo!
He took part in a hands-on reptile care session, prepared food for endangered Cotton Top Tamarins, and toured the zoo’s wildlife hospital where he observed real-life veterinary care in action. For Cameron and his family, it was a day filled with wonder and learning.
“This experience has been specifically designed for Cameron, his interests, and it's just going to stay with him forever. It’s something really special he got to share with his family. It was amazing. Really, really amazing,” said Cameron’s mum, Marie.
His connection with animals really helped him, and me too as well! His wish really gave him that drive to dream of becoming a vet.

Inayah, 5, severe congenital heart disease
Wishmaker Star - Inayah, 5
Though diagnosed with severe congenital heart disease and progressive cardiac dysfunction, Inayah tried her best to maintain her well-known confident and sassy attitude.
"Inayah’s health and medical needs have had a huge toll on her for the past 5 years," says Jay, Inayah's mum.
Inayah has been dressing up as her favourite princesses her whole life and loves everything about them, which is why she wished 'to transform into a real life princess'.
A princess transformation
Inayah's Wish
As well suited to any VIP, Inayah and her family received a royal welcome to The Langham Sydney, where they stayed for four fabulous nights.
On Inayah's wish day, she was escorted to a royal castle, via limousine. Here she met her Fairy Godmother, who provided royal training and a grand princess makeover.
After she was presented as an official princess on the grand staircase of the castle, Inayah plus all her favourite princesses and her family enjoyed an evening of singing, a delicious castle feast, and a photoshoot!
The first time she saw herself in the mirror after being transformed at her wish, she said she felt like a real-life princess and couldn’t believe her eyes.
