The Variety NSW Bash is a weeklong adventure with 300 new mates, exploring the dirt roads of NSW and the ACT. Along the way we visit some beautiful country towns, see parts of Australia you wouldn’t otherwise visit, and the best bit is supporting kids to get a fair go.

Looking for the 2023 accommodation list – look no further, just click here!

We visit schools along the way and donate much-needed items and equipment so you can see how your hard work and fundraising is making a difference.

How to Get Involved

For over 47 years, Variety – the Children’s Charity NSW/ACT has helped make sure all kids have the same opportunities in life. No matter what life throws at them. No matter what their ability. Each year, thousands of children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs, turn to Variety for practical support when they need it most. Our work allows kids to gain mobility, to get out and about in the community, to communicate, achieve independence and increase their self-esteem. We make sure the kids who miss out, can always join in. Variety does this through granting equipment, supplies, and therapy to individuals and community organisations; running programs to educate & empower kids; scholarships to encourage the talents of kids in need and holding events to engage & bring joy.
