Welcome to

Hi Adelaide!

We’re so excited to be back in beautiful Adelaide for the third time, following a hugely successful expo last year, and I couldn’t be more delighted to welcome you all.

We’ll have a showcase of over 100 product and service providers, offering families, caregivers and professionals the chance to discover and try out innovative solutions.

Our expo comes with interactive zones, including the Active, Arcade, StyleMe and Movie Zones. And of course, there’s our Stage hosting awesome entertainment from Jack and Alex’s Silly-Yak Adventure, Restless Dance Theatre, Neuroinclusive story time, Inclusion and Diversity with Tennis Australia and more – just enough fun without going over the top!

A massive shoutout to the dedicated Source team for making this happen. And big thanks to our sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers and performers – your support is the backbone of this inclusive event.

So, Adelaide, get ready for a weekend of exploration, testing, connecting and a bucket load of inspiration. The Source Disability Expo is here to keep it fun and energetic – just like a weekend hangout with friends.
