Kids Events
We hold kids a range of inclusive events throughout the year to bring joy, light and laughter to children and their families.
Variety Kids Xmas Party
The enormous smiles, laughter, joy and excitement make this day the most special in our Variety calendar. Held right across Australia, they’re the biggest parties of the year for kids aged 0 to Grade 6 who are living with a disability, illness or experiencing disadvantage. With performing acts, rides, animals, face painting, stage shows, gifts and (of course) Santa, there’s something for every child to enjoy!
This day is truly magical and holds profound significance for the kids who attend. It offers them a break from their everyday challenges and gives them an opportunity to simply have fun and enjoy themselves.
In Victoria, we are proud to host around 5,000 kids, along with their parents and caregivers, at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, for this extraordinary event. It's a day filled with warmth, compassion, and shared experiences that create lasting memories for everyone involved.
We are always on the lookout for businesses and corporate partners to support this massive event. If you would like to support by sponsoring the event or donating food, entertainment, or other items, please contact us at events@varietyvic.org.au.
Variety Dream Days
Variety Dream Days are all about creating joyful, inclusive experiences for kids and their families. From exploring the wonders of Melbourne Zoo and Healesville Sanctuary to riding the historic Puffing Billy Railway, these special outings give children who might not otherwise have the chance, free access to some of Victoria’s most iconic attractions.
It’s an opportunity to relax, have fun, and make unforgettable memories in a supportive, inclusive environment.
Special Invitations & Experiences
We’re always thrilled to offer Variety kids and their families the chance to attend special events throughout the year. From Disney on Ice and live AFL or NRL games to the circus and ice skating adventures—you never know what exciting opportunity might be next!
A heartfelt thank you to the generous businesses and event partners who donate tickets and experiences to help bring joy, fun, and unforgettable memories to children in need.
