Welcome to Sydney Sydney

Hi Sydney!

We’re so excited to be back in stunning Sydney for the fourth time, following hugely successful expos in the past three years. I couldn’t be more delighted to welcome you all.

We’ll have a showcase of over 130 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, Nature and Movie Zones. And of course, there’s our Stage hosting awesome entertainment from the Tiptoe Giants, Inclusive Interactive Putting, DOTS Dance over the Spectrum, Cricket Blast NSW – just enough fun without going over the top!

A massive shoutout to the dedicated Source Kids 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, Sydney, get ready for a weekend of exploration, testing, connecting and a bucket load of inspiration. The Source Kids Disability Expo is here to keep it fun and energetic – just like a weekend hangout with friends.
