The aim of the Children’s Christmas Party is to provide up to 1,200 children from all over the state with a day they will never forget.
The children invited, are children who may have one or more of the following: serious illnesses, a physical and/or intellectual disability and complex needs. The Party is not open to the public but to all Sponsors and the children and their families.
We put on a free day including lunch, drinks, fruit, lollies, ice creams and chips and a three hour live stage show. Other entertainment for the children includes face painting, rides, interactive displays and much more.
Of course no Christmas party is complete without the big guy in red, Santa Claus! After wishing the children a Merry Christmas from the stage, he will then proceed to the Santa Display where he will greet each child offering the families an opportunity to have a photo with Santa.
This is the 28th anniversary of the Party and working with our friends at
Make-A-Wish® Australia, so we want to make it one of the best day's ever for these brave children.
This year's Party will be held at the Silverdome in Launceston on Saturday 7th December.
