Empowering Aussie kids

Fundraise for Variety
From life-changing equipment like wheelchairs and communication devices to therapy, education and joyful experiences, every dollar you raise with Variety Queensland helps a child thrive.

Fundraising isn’t just about money — it’s about giving Queensland kids the freedom to learn, grow and feel included, while standing beside families when they need support most. Whether your effort is big or small, it creates real change — opening doors, building confidence and helping every child belong and live without limits.

Be the Reason We Can Say Yes

Heroes with Heart
An unprecedented number of Queensland families are turning to Variety for support. They come to us when they need equipment, technology, opportunities and practical support that can help their child participate more fully in everyday life. Sometimes, the support they need isn’t available anywhere else. Sometimes, the cost puts it completely out of reach. That’s where Variety can make the difference.

But we can’t do it alone. Regular giving means we’re not relying solely on the next event, the next fundraiser or the next big donation. Heroes with Heart give us something we can count on. A reliable source of funding. A stronger foundation. And the ability to keep stepping in when Queensland children need us most.

Be In It to Win It

Variety Heart Lottery
Did you know you can be part of the Variety Heart Lottery? Every ticket gives you the chance to win $10,000 cash – while empowering children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with disabilities to live without limits.

Be the heart of Variety

Volunteer with Us
At Variety – the Children’s Charity of Queensland, our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. Their time, energy and kindness make our events shine and help children across Australia access the care and opportunities they deserve.

When you volunteer with Variety, you’re not just giving your time – you’re helping create moments of joy, independence and belonging for kids who need it most.

Whether you can lend a hand at an event, offer your skills for an event or project, or rally your workplace to get involved, there’s a place for you in the Variety Family. Together, we can make sure every child has the chance to thrive.

Let's do great things together

Become a Corporate Partner
Together, we can empower every child to dream, achieve and thrive.

As a corporate partner, your business can make a tangible difference through sponsorships, workplace giving, cause-related campaigns and event partnerships – all while engaging your team and customers in something truly rewarding. Let’s work together to create a future without limits for all Queensland kids.

Let's Make a Difference Together

Workplace Giving
Workplace giving is a simple and powerful way for employees and employers to support children and families in need. Through small, regular pre-tax donations, your team can make a meaningful difference, one pay cycle at a time.

By taking part in workplace giving, you’re not just donating. You’re joining a community of people who believe in creating brighter futures for Queensland kids, while building a culture of care, connection and shared purpose at work.

Your Legacy, Their Tomorrow

Leave a Gift in Your Will
Your Will is one of the most meaningful ways to care for the next generation. After you’ve provided for your loved ones, consider leaving a gift to Variety – the Children’s Charity of Queensland.

Every gift, big or small, helps children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage, or living with disabilities to access the care, freedom and opportunities they deserve.

Your legacy will live on in every smile, every new step and every child who gets the chance to thrive.

However you choose to help, you’re doing something extraordinary — giving kids the care, freedom and opportunities they deserve. Together, we’re creating a world where every child can thrive and belong.
