Welcome to

I am thrilled to welcome everyone to the Source Kids Disability Expo in Melbourne. We are so excited to be bringing this event to Melbourne for the fourth time.

The expo will showcase over 150 product and service providers giving young people with disability and their families, carers and professionals the opportunity to discover and try products, as well as talk and connect with providers.

We have some amazing interactive zones within our expo, making it the perfect day out for the whole family. These zones include our Active, Virtual Reality, Arcade, Nature and Screen Zone, as well as a Sensory Zone which includes a Silent Disco and also a place to relax. And of course, we have our Stage with an incredible line up of entertainment, including the Tiptoe Giants, Jordan Anthony (finalist from the Voice), Special Olympics Australia, BAM Arts and much more!!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Source Kids team, for their relentless enthusiasm and passion in making this event such a wonderful success. I would also like to acknowledge and thank our sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers and performers for their support. Without these wonderful businesses and individuals, we could not have delivered such a comprehensive and inclusive event. I hope that everyone enjoys the expo and has the opportunity to explore, find, test, connect and be inspired by what is on offer.
