Livewire: online community for teenagers living with serious illness or disability |

Australian teens aged 10-18 years with a chronic illness or disability
can use the new Livewire website to make new friends, catch the chat events and guests in the chat
room, contribute to forums and check out the latest music, movies, TV
and sport news, plus interviews and games.
The website is a closed community with chat hosts available from 12noon to 8pm daily, in order
to oversee the proceedings, support newcomers, and ensure a fun and
safe environment. Members are divided by age into different sites
(10-12, 13-15, 16-18), with age-appropriate content in each. Every
application is authorised with written parental consent and proof of
identity. Livewire is run by the Starlight Foundation.
