Each year, The Variety@Work teams take tens of thousands of sick, disadvantaged and special needs children to some wonderful entertaining and educational experiences.

Variety@Work offers the children an opportunity to be a part of activities and events that due to disability or financial hardship they otherwise would not be able to experience. Variety@Work projects in each state include camps, sailing days, invitations to events like Circus Oz, AFL football and the Variety Children’s Christmas Party– just about anything that they’ll enjoy! Sometimes these activities will involve the child’s parents, siblings and carers - giving the entire family rare and much needed opportunities to experience what most families take for granted.

Tickets are arranged due to the generosity of local companies and volunteers and worthy groups of kids are identified through various hospitals, care agencies and charities. The kids and their carers/guardians are invited to come along and have a fun day out.

In some states the V@W program is run by a dedicated group of women known as ‘LOVE’ - Ladies of Variety. But fellas, you don’t have to don a dress to join in!

To see the happiness on the faces of children on a V@W outing is an experience that you’ll never forget. We are proud to bring so much joy to so many kids.

Should you be able to assist us in identifying other exciting places for the children to visit, we would be delighted to hear from you so please contact your nearest office if you would like to help.

If you would like your school or organisation to be considered to attend Variety@Work events please contact your nearest Variety office.
