The Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Association of South Australia Inc, now trading as SIDS and Kids, was formed by a group of parents in October 1977.
Our main aim was to raise funds for research and to educate the community about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Today we have a much broader charter encompassing support for families who experience the sudden unexpected death of an infant or child, education programs to reduce infant mortality and funding of research to find the causes of these deaths.
