STEPS will host its annual Autism Treehouse Christmas Party at the Kawana Sports Precinct from 9am to 2pm on Sunday 24 November 2024.

This family-friendly, inclusive community event is designed for young people living with disabilities and autism. The event will feature expect rides, water slides, a petting zoo, a rock-climbing wall, a chance to meet and have their photo taken with Santa, and more fun activities, along with food stalls to fuel up for an exciting day.

“I love to see the children having fun and watching their parents and loved ones also enjoying the day, since they are able to relax knowing their children are safe and having a good time,” said Carmel Crouch, Managing Director of STEPS.

Inclusive features at the event include an enclosed area for safety and peace-of-mind, limited entry and exit points, supportive and friendly volunteers to assist families, shade and seating, and quiet zones. The STEPS Autism Treehouse Christmas Party is sponsored by The Fleet Office.
