Telethon Weekend 2025

Get ready WA! Telethon 2025 is coming on Saturday, 18 October and Sunday, 19 October 2025.

Telethon is coming back to the Perth CBD this October!

Telethon Weekend is back on 18 and 19 October, live from RAC Arena. This year’s 26-hour event will be broadcast on Channel 7 and 7plus, filled with incredible stories, special guests, and the inspiring generosity of Western Australians coming together to support sick, vulnerable and disadvantaged kids and their families.

On Sunday, 19 October, the Telethon Family Festival also returns, bringing the streets surrounding RAC Arena to life. Wellington Street, stretching from RAC Arena to Yagan Square, will be transformed into a vibrant community celebration with free entertainment, food trucks, family activities, and more.

Be part of the excitement, watch the broadcast, join the festivities, and help make a real difference. Every donation helps fund vital services, medical research, and support programs for WA children and their families.
