Tham Gia School Holiday Program - Southern

Tham Gia (which means To Participate in Vietnamese!) operates during school holidays in the southern regions of Melbourne from early 2022. The program is based on our highly successful Tham Gia Western region program. 

We work in partnership with local community activity providers to host “Come and Try” events for Vietnamese youth experiencing all types of disability and their families. However, our big family day events are open to youth experiencing disability from all cultural backgrounds and their immediate families.

The Tham Gia School Holiday Program is funded through various government grants, so most events are free or require a small donation to participate. 

All events are supported by a team of Extended Families’ Staff who are fully screened and experienced in working with children and youth with disabilities. One - two Vietnamese speaking staff participate at each event.
