You’re invited to the Melbourne Disability Connection Expo 2025 on the 3rd and 4th of October.

In Australia, there are over 4.4 Million people living with some form of disability.

One of the major struggles for many of us is finding the right services when we need them. That’s why we deliver the largest Disability and NDIS-related expos in Australia, to help connect participants and service providers and make this whole process easier.

Our expos are more than just booths and pamphlets. They’re vibrant community gatherings offering entertainment and a diverse array of activities for adults, families, children, caregivers, and guardians alike. Attendees often visit both days to experience everything firsthand, with over 200 exhibitors showcasing NDIS Service Providers, Allied Health professionals, Early Intervention experts, resource and equipment suppliers, home and community services, as well as disability and complex care services for both adults and children. Additionally, many services extend support to carers, individuals over 65, families, and those opting for private options outside of the NDIS framework.

One of the highlights includes our Ask an NDIS Expert – Information Hub, featuring more than 20 specialists ready to provide answers and real-time solutions. Also, don’t miss out on our Main Stage Entertainment, sponsored by Envision Healthcare, featuring interactive dance performances every 30 minutes. Join us to participate in activities ranging from art therapy to exercise and dance classes.

In addition, there are four more entertainment zones offering a variety of activities such as hair braiding, balloon artistry, face painting, and even a jumping castle—ensuring plenty of fun for everyone.

NDIS participants across Australia require access to support services and detailed information about providers and their offerings. This demand continues to rise annually, especially with the inclusion of approved disabilities under the expanding NDIS scheme.

Community events such as the Melbourne Disability Connection Expo 2025, play a crucial role in uniting participants and providers. These events facilitate the discovery of solutions and enhance participants’ ability to exercise real choice and control over their support options.

Participants need a hub where they can access comprehensive information and discover previously unknown or overlooked options. They seek transparency and a supportive environment that fosters knowledge-sharing in a fun, inclusive, and community-centred atmosphere.

If that’s not enough, thanks to our Coffee Cart Sponsors – Nurse4U, everyone will receive a free coffee, so get in early, grab a tasty treat and settle in for the day.

Whether you’re a participant, provider, carer, guardian or family member, you’re invited to Melbourne’s biggest disability and NDIS-related event of 2025.

Register now, invite a friend, spread the word and make the most of this amazing community event. We will see you there!
