This expo will celebrate and promote the action being taken locally and show the ways that we can make a difference in our own homes and everyday lives. There is a tendency to talk about “taking action for the future” but in reality we need to take action now.
If you are passionate about wildlife, love gardening, are interested in house design or renovations, are looking for ways to connect to your local community, want to empower your kids, or any combination of the above, we’d love to see you there!
What to expect:
- Stallholders on a variety of topics addressing the triple planetary crisis – climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution (Final Event Map and Stallholder List will be available to download in early October)
- Kids Zone
- Food and drinks
- Wildlife meet and greet
- Art activities
- Drop-in talks
- Live music
- Guided walks
Children must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult at all times. This will be a smoke and alcohol free event.
Please be aware that this event will include spaces within an indoor venue, where dogs can not be accommodated.

Families can expect an evening filled with music, dancing, laughter, and festive cheer. Each $10 child’s ticket includes a sausage sizzle, drink, bag of lollies, and a special gift from Santa.

FIFO Family Meet-Up
Are you a FIFO family in Perth, wanting to meet others who get what it’s like to live a FIFO life?
This free event is your opportunity to connect and have a cuppa with other local FIFO Families who ‘get it’, where you can begin to overcome the loneliness and isolation that too often comes with FIFO rosters and being a FIFO partner.
Bonus – you get an outing on a Sunday morning, where the kids are contained (fully-fenced play area), you’re inside if it rains and there are lots of great coffee shops nearby.
Act Now! Yes tickets are free but you must sign up to attend through Eventbrite, as numbers for the venue are capped and we don’t want you to miss out.
* Please select 1 ticket for every member of the family attending *
* Children must have their own ticket
*Will there be more events? Absolutely! There are monthly TFFP (The FIFO Family Project) meet-ups planned across Perth for the rest of 2025. Join our Facebook group to stay updated on the next meet-ups and other activities: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thefifofamilyproject
Thank you! We want to say a big thank-you to our venue sponsor for this event – Meerilinga. We couldn’t host this event indoors without your generous support.
