CNET.com.au is supporting the IT Fund for Kids, a national fundraising initiative that works to improve the quality of life for seriously ill and autistic children.

Every year, over 600,000 children are admitted to hospital, with many of them spending extended periods recuperating at home following hospital treatment. Often these children suffer from isolation and boredom and welcome the distraction of play as well as connection to other children, their families and the world beyond the confines of their ward or care facility.

The IT Fund for Kids recognises the important role of technology in fulfilling the needs of these children. The two beneficiaries exclusively supported by the IT Fund are the Starlight Children's Foundation and the Giant Steps School.

Watch this video for an inside look at the Starlight Express Room at Sydney's Children's Hospital. If you wish to make a donation to the IT Fund for Kids, please click here. We are also running a fundraising Meego competition on our sister site, Builder AU. Full details on how to enter and prizes are here, but hurry as the competition closes on May 30.

  • Multiple options can be selected

    • Canon Pixma iP100 Inkjet Printer

      Canon Pixma iP100 Inkjet Printer

      It isn't cheap compared to standard printers, but the Canon Pixma iP100 has the highest resolution available in the mobile printer market and prints at an impressive speed to boot. If you simply must have a printer with you at all times, the iP100 should be the do-it-all at your side.

    • Lexmark X4875

      Lexmark X4875

      It's a step back in the style stakes, but there's still plenty to like about Lexmark's latest small office wireless printer.

    • HP Photosmart C8180

      HP Photosmart C8180

      The C8180 multifunctional printer is an excellent choice for photo enthusiasts. It prints high-quality text and photos at a heavy price: the printer is slow. If you always choose quality over speed, the C8180 will be a worthwhile addition to your digital toolshed.

    • Samsung ML-2851ND

      Samsung ML-2851ND

      Home offices and small businesses should take a serious look at the Samsung ML-2851ND's mono laser because of its excellent print speed, text print quality, auto-duplexer, and networking features. It's a little more expensive than the competition, but its chart-topping test results speak for themselves.

    • Dell 1720 mono laser printer
