Coronis raises $250,000 for Queensland's premature babies in 2026

Coronis has raised more than $250,000 in 2026 for Mater Little Miracles, the foundation supporting premature and critically ill babies treated at Brisbane’s Mater hospital.

The total came from three events run across the year. The first was the 2026 edition of House for Life, where a brand-new Plantation Homes build sold under the hammer for $2,900,000, a record result for the campaign.

Coronis Ascot selling principal Oliver Jonker led the sale, with 100 per cent of proceeds going to Little Miracles.

The Coronis Foundation then held a second instalment of Clovella, a music festival-style afternoon for the Coronis community, drawing 300 attendees.

The year’s fundraising closed with the group’s first ever Coronis Giving Day, where landlords, tenants, mortgage and finance clients, friends and team members donated to push the annual total to $250,000.

Coronis CEO Karuna Mazzocchi said the result reflected the breadth of people who got behind it.

“Contributing $250,000 in a single year is an exceptional result, and it’s thanks to everyone who supported. Our team, landlords, tenants, clients and friends, all getting behind a foundation that helps so many people right here in our own backyard of Queensland. It’s a powerful reminder of what a community can do when it comes together,” Karuna said.

Chairman Andrew Coronis said the cause was personal for him and his wife Anna, whose own family had been cared for by the Mater.

“Anna and I will never forget the care the Mater gave our family. To see so many people give their time, energy and generosity to help Queensland’s tiniest babies is humbling, and it shows the true power of community,” he said.

More than 1,700 very ill and premature babies receive specialist care at the Mater each year, drawn from communities across Queensland, including Coronis’s own.

The funds raised in 2026 will go toward helping more of those families take their babies home.
