Major community engagement activities and events
Over the past three years, the annual Kidsafe Victoria Gala Balls have blossomed into unforgettable evenings that unite our community, share meaningful stories of our work and celebrate our achievements. These nights are filled with inspiring examples of our impact across Victoria, accompanied by live entertainment, gourmet food and delightful drinks.
Held in the stunning Plaza Ballroom in the heart of Melbourne, the 2025 Kidsafe Victoria Gala Ball will bring together community and corporate leaders, members of parliament, advocates, educators, caregivers and friends, all united by a common goal – to create a safer world for children.
Our spectacular night out and fundraising efforts will directly support crucial safety campaigns, advocacy and resources. The evening will also recognise nominees and recipients of the Kidsafe Awards – the individuals, businesses or organisations making a mark in child safety.
Don your formal attire and join us for a night of inspiration and community spirit, as we continue our journey towards a safer world for every child.

In May 2024, we hosted our third annual fundraising event, the Gala of Enchantment at the spectacular Plaza Ballroom. We were joined by MPs, industry leaders, sponsors, friends and families we have worked alongside as part of our Ambassador program to share in and celebrate the impact Kidsafe Victoria has made in the past 12 months.
We were overwhelmed by the generosity from our Gold Sponsors Baby Bunting, Britax, Lim’s Pharmacy and Wheelton Philanthropy who helped make our night of impact possible. Our guests surpassed all expectations, contributing to raising vital funds for our programs in child safety through our fundraising activities on the night whilst dancing the night away to the Baker Boys Band.
Special thanks to our incredible MCs Candy Hertz and Matt Welsh and speakers Andrew Crisp, Chloe Shorten, Josh Bull and Richard Lim, whose stories and experiences added insight and inspiration to the evening. As did the brave and courageous ambassador families who shared their stories through the video snippets – thank you.
During the Gala, we announced the inaugural winners of the Kidsafe Awards. Each of these worthy recipients champion the work we do making the world a safer place for children.
The success of the evening is already helping us to expand and create new legacy programs, and support educational programs across the state.
We look forward to sharing our next event with you!
We’d like to thank our generous silent auction and raffle prize donors:
In March 2023, we hosted our second annual fundraising event, the Gala of Enchantment. We were once again joined by friends, colleagues, industry stakeholders and families we have worked alongside as part of our Ambassador program, and were overwhelmed by the generosity from our sponsors and everyone in attendance who participated in our fundraising activities on the night.
Their continued support is helping us expand and create new legacy programs, and support educational programs across the state.
