WELCOME TO THE
DISABILITY I am thrilled to welcome everyone to the Source Kids Disability Expo in Melbourne. We are so happy to bring this event back to Melbourne for the third time after two fantastic events in 2019 and 2021. The expo brings together the latest products, services, technology and information under the one roof, for the two-day event. The expo will showcase over 150 product and service providers giving young people with a disability and their families, carers and professionals the opportunity to discover and try products and talk with providers. There will also be some amazing interactive zones within our expo making it the perfect day out for all the family. These zones include our Story Time, Sensory, Active, Screen and Game zones and of course, we have our Stage with an incredible line up of entertainment including the Tiptoe Giants, Cricket Victoria, BAM Arts dancing, drumming and 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.
FOLLOW US Instagram (@sourcekidsmagazine) and Facebook (@sourcekids) during the expo for all the latest event updates and news!
I would also like to acknowledge and thank our sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers and performers for their support of this event. Without these wonderful businesses and individuals, we could not have delivered such a comprehensive and inclusive event for those attending. I hope that everyone enjoys the expo and has the opportunity to explore, find, test, see and be inspired by what is on offer.

We have loads of fun, active and entertaining zones available throughout the event – designed to make the event a great day out for all.
ZONE OVERVIEW ACTIVE ZONE Come and find out what your body can do in the Active Zone, where you’ll be able to test your balancing, climbing, and jumping skills with a fun softfall obstacle course. No matter if you’re 6 or 60, this is sure to be a good time! The Active Zone is located in the centre of the exhibition hall, where it will be available for play during all opening hours of the expo. This zone is supported by HART Sport.
GAME ZONE Choose your own adventure! Head to the Game Zone on the right-hand side of the hall, where there are three interactive areas and you can decide what you want to do first. Table tennis? Lego building? Imaginary play? Do them all in any order you like! This zone is supported by Lego Australia.
SCREEN ZONE Chill out, recharge and play at our Screen Zone! After taking in everything at the expo, why not chill out and enjoy our Screen Zone, complete with comfy chairs and a big screen. With no shortage of options, we’ll be sharing videos, movies and will even have the xbox set up ready for you to take on your mates. You can find the Screen Zone at the back of the hall, and it’ll be there during opening hours on both days.
SENSORY ZONE Don’t miss the Sensory Zone, brought to you by Sensory Wizard. This is a space where you can chill out and explore all the latest and greatest sensory equipment. It’s a great place to take a break before setting off again to explore the rest of the expo. The Sensory Zone will be open during opening hours on both event days and located at the back of the hall.
STAGE Get ready to be entertained! Our line-up of fun on the Stage will get you moving, clapping and cheering. We’ll have the acclaimed Tiptoe Giants taking centre stage, plus drumming, dancing, fun fitness and some of your favourite characters coming to join us. You won’t want to miss out. The Stage is in the centre of the hall, and you can check out the full program of entertainment on page 22-23.
STORY TIME ZONE Do you love to read? So do we! That’s why we’ve created the Story Time Zone—a comfy place for you to escape into another world. We have books for all ages and reading levels, so whether you’re a picture-book lover or a seasoned reader, there’s something here for you. The team from The Everyday Autism Series will be storytelling from 11.30am -12.00pm each day. You can find our Story Time Zone on the left-hand side of the hall, and it’s open during opening hours on both days.
STRIKE ZONE Calling all Nerf fans! We’ve set up a Strike Zone just for you—because who doesn’t love hiding, chasing, and setting up targets? Bring your A-game to the Strike Zone located in the back left-hand corner of the halll (near the cafe) to tackle the challenges we’ve set up. It’s open during opening hours on both days of the event, so come and challenge yourself as often as you like!
RACE RUNNING Come and try out the fun sport of Race Running! A Race Runner is a custom built three-wheeled frame where the runner is fully supported by a saddle and leans against a chest support, propelling themselves forward by the feet (one or both), while using the hands and/or arms to steer. Dejay Medical will have Race Runners on display and for use during the event, there is even a fun obstacle course to run around! Located at the front left-hand side of the hall.
