The World of Ross Hutchison
About
Ross Hutchison is a natural-born, dazzle-radiating entertainer. After stepping onto the stage (uninvited!) at just four years old and wowing the crowd — he knew that performance was to be his life. However, beset with serious health problems, the young showman didn’t have a smooth journey.
But, always the consummate entertainer — he knew the show must go on. Working tirelessly, he bravely battled through the barriers and challenges to become a national icon. Never forgetting those early troubled and testing years — he dedicated his life to helping those less fortunate.
The Ross Hutchison Foundation
If one single endeavour represents Ross’ philanthropy and compassion — it’s the Ross Hutchison Foundation. Entirely self-funded by Ross during its early years, this not-for-profit organisation delivers advice, financial support, and assistance to the less fortunate in Penrith and beyond — irrespective of who the person is.
Victims of domestic violence, the homeless, the hungry, and the mobility-challenged — all benefit from the vast charitable work of the Foundation. Today, supported by Ross, Sydneysiders, fundraisers, and volunteers, it provides ceaseless help to those often with no access to governmental aid.
Dream Team One
Backed by a lifetime career in front of the camera and on stage — Ross Hutchison knows what it takes to make it big in the often cut-throat world of show business. With an inherent knack for spotting undiscovered talent, Ross provides these future stars with the training to succeed in the performance industry through Dream Team One.
But, Ross knows success and contentment are more than just learning the basics of treading the boards or donning dancing shoes. Dream Team One ensures that the students are grounded, rounded, and realistic — replacing hubris with humility.
Sacred Gardens
Whether dispensing immeasurable joy through his dancing and choreography, or providing education mixed with fun through his preschool TV work — Ross’ career has always focused on pleasing others. His Sacred Gardens project takes this one step further, by delivering tangible healing, comfort, and peace.
Trained in a vast spectrum of alternative medicine therapies — and with a strong faith and sense of the spirit — Ross delivers reassurance and release, both physical and emotional. Sacred Gardens’ completely holistic approach is open to all.
