WA's biggest weekend of giving!
This October, RAC Arena and the Perth CBD will once again become the heart of WA’s biggest weekend of giving, and plans are well underway behind the scenes to make Telethon 2026 another unforgettable event.
Since 1968, Telethon has brought West Australians together in an extraordinary show of generosity, raising vital funds to support sick children and their families. The Telethon Weekend is the culmination of that effort – 26 hours of unforgettable moments, inspiring stories, entertainment and hope that showcase the very best of WA.
This year’s Telethon Weekend promises another incredible line-up of Australian talent, with acclaimed singer-songwriter and The Voice coach Kate Miller-Heidke making her Telethon debut. Returning favourites include Emma Memma, alongside AFL legends Shane Crawford, Kane Cornes, Campbell “Browny” Brown and Luke Hodge.
They’ll be joined by familiar faces from Home and Away, Better Homes and Gardens, Sunrise, The Morning Show, The Chase, the 7NEWS Perth team, local sporting heroes and, of course, everyone’s favourite Fat Cat.
Last year, Telethon raised a record-breaking $90.1 million for 147 charity beneficiaries, and with another huge weekend ahead, we’re looking forward to doing it all again.
