Welcome to

Perth Hi Perth!

We’re so excited to be back in glorious Perth 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 100 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, VR and Movie Zones. And of course, there’s our Stage hosting awesome entertainment from Hip Hop and Ballroom dancing, Football for All, African drumming and the amazing Lulus Show for the kids - 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, Perth, 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.

Much more than just a comfortable seat!

The Gravity Chair is a very supportive foam positioning system to provide postural control for a wide range of individuals. It is not only a comfortable seat, but it can also provide: • An alternative and stable seating solution for users who might have spent time on the floor for relaxation • Provide a snug, ‘safe’ feeling for users who have perception deficits • A well-positioned base where a range of different therapy activities can be performed • Or even a comfortable but supported seating solution for palliative care clients • ... and much more!
