How We Can Help
Variety the children's charity Queensland empowers children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs to live, laugh and learn.
Each year Variety assists over 30,000 Queensland children across the state with equipment and support to enable them to live more independently and learn and play along with their peers. This is implemented through an appeal and granting process.
If you know a child under 18 years or a school or community that can benefit from Variety’s support please send through a request (appeal) for support. Any appeal must be provided on a completed application forms together with requested information and sent to Variety Queensland.
