Children who are blind or have low vision can face unique challenges in education, development, independence, and everyday life. Access to specialist services and support can help children build confidence and ensure they have opportunities to participate fully in their communities.
Vision Australia supports people who are blind or have low vision, including children and their families, through services, resources, advocacy, and specialist assistance designed to help people live independently and reach their potential.
Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight 2026 will take place on Thursday, 24 December 2026, at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, bringing the community together on Christmas Eve for one of Australia’s beloved Christmas traditions. The event offers an evening under the stars filled with Christmas songs, entertainment, and performances from some of Australia’s most loved performers, including familiar members of the Carols family.
Beyond the festive celebration, Carols by Candlelight has a long history of supporting children who are blind or have low vision. Attending the event provides an opportunity to enjoy a memorable Christmas Eve while helping contribute to Vision Australia’s work supporting children and families. The event combines the spirit of Christmas with an important charitable purpose, creating a night where entertainment, community, and generosity come together.
Register here and help support children who are blind or have low vision while celebrating the festive season under the stars.
