Are there any Knitting Charities in Perth Western Australia?

I have just read a book on knitting for charities, and being an avid knitter I thought I'd help out some premature babies in hospital, but all the charities I can find are for the US, can someone help me get in contact with knitting charities here in Perth Western Australia?

1. I'm in Sydney and do some knitting for charity. Contact your local hospitals and speak to them. You could also just call in there as most have a shop area at the front which has donated hand knit items for sale and that helps raise funds for the hospital. If you are not already a member of Ravelry.com I would suggest you join them to see if there are any Perth groups that may be able to help and also try searching through Yahoo Groups as there are a number of Australian knitting groups there. You could also try this site. It covers all Australia but I didn't see anything specifically for Perth or WA: http://www.knitting-and.com/knitting/charities.htm Hope this helps. Good luck.
