Resource sector workers across Western Australia are dressing in tiaras and capes to raise funds for Telethon, inspired by six-year-old Izzy Miller.

Resource sector workers across Western Australia are trading hard hats for tiaras and capes this October to raise funds for Telethon. Sodexo, which operates more than 70 sites across the state from the Goldfields to the Pilbara, has organised the fundraising drive inspired by Izzy Miller, the 2025 Little Telethon Star.

Izzy, six, was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma when she was four. During her treatment at Perth Children's Hospital, she started Tiara Tuesdays, a tradition that has now inspired the broader fundraising effort. Alongside royal dress-up days, Sodexo is organising trivia nights, music bingo and pool and darts tournaments. Every dollar raised goes directly to Telethon.

Izzy said she thought it was 'really cool' that everyone was dressing up and wearing tiaras and capes, adding that her favourite costume is 'definitely being a princess'. Her mother, Kim, said the wave of support across WA mine sites brings immense pride and comfort to their family. A Sodexo spokesperson said the cause hits close to home for staff members, particularly those with children of their own.
