Application Form

AAAF believes that whether to wear a wig or not is a personal choice. As government assistance and Medicare / Private Health Care rebates are limited and vary across states, AAAF established the Wig for Kids Program to ensure that children wanting to wear a wig get the information, service and support needed.

Application Criteria:

• The amount awarded is a total of $400.00 inclusive of GST.

• A child for the purpose of this program is a person of 17 years or under.

• To help care for the wig the amount granted can include the purchase of a wig stand, hair brush, speciality shampoos and conditioners, as well as the cost of the wig or part thereof with the cost of the wig

• AAAF can provide a list of Wig Providers in your state. A  Wig Provider needs to be selected as part of this application.  AAAF has the right to refuse the Wig Provider if we do not believe the Wig Provider will provide an overall positive experience and quality product for the child.

• The successful applicant will receive a voucher to present to the Wig Provider on collection of the wig.  The Wig Provider will invoice AAAF directly quoting the voucher reference number.

Before deciding on a wig, find out as much information as you can from various Wig Providers. There are some useful guidelines and tips available on purchasing a wig.

Testimonials

When I went out in the public I felt ugly and everyone was staring at me, now with my new wig I have my self confidence back.

.

"I have been endlessly bullied due to my alopecia! I would like a new wig because it makes me feel beautiful & it's a time that I feel closest to normal."

I am very happy with my new wig, and would like to thank you for your financial support. The staff at Transitions Hair was very helpful. The wig makes a big difference in my daily life.

Being fifteen and male, I was confronted with Alopecia
Universalis in a rapid timeframe, psychologically this was confronting. Having my wig eases this pain.

I have my school ball on March 2nd 2012 and my hair started to fall out again a few weeks ago - this is now my 5th episode.  The wig will help myself confidence so much!  I just found out about this program, it would be fantastic if you could help me in anyway!. Having a wig will enable me to blend in and be treated normal for a night.

It has changed my everyday life, I feel more confident and my old self.I really appreciate your help  giving me $400 to put towards the wig. Without this I would still have to wear my bandanas every day.

I got my wig today and I'm really excited and happy. Bouncing of the walls actually!

I'm 5 -I got new hair clips to go in my wig and the lady washed my head and cut my wig and I got a special brush as well.

I'm so excited, trying on all different types of wigs was great, I chose one like my old hair looked.
