Regrettably we have made the decision to postpone

Regrettably we have made the decision to postpone the Source Kids Disability Expo in Brisbane this weekend.⁠
⁠
Queensland has experienced a number of COVID cases in recent weeks with many exposure sites across the state, which has been growing daily. Thankfully this has not lead to any significant outbreaks, however the concern in the community is still present.⁠
⁠
So taking into consideration the vulnerability of our attendees and the current COVID climate throughout Australia right now, the event has been rescheduled until November. ⁠
⁠
If you have tickets, they will be automatically transferred to the rescheduled dates. Please feel free to share this info if you know of anyone who was planning to attend this weekend.⁠
⁠
Thank you to everyone for your support and we'll look forward to seeing you soon!⁠
