White Cane Mingle at Moorebank Sporties

Between Wednesday 18 February 2026 and Wednesday 2 December 2026
A new community initiative is launching at Moorebank Sports Club. Cocky Guides has partnered with Moorebank Sporties to host White Cane Mingle — a welcoming and inclusive space for blind and low-vision residents, their families, and supporters to connect and build community. The first White Cane Mingle takes place on Wednesday, 12 November 2025, at 10:30 a.m., followed by a Christmas Mingle on Wednesday, 3 December 2025, celebrating the International Day of People with Disability. Events will continue regularly at Moorebank Sporties in Hammondville. Participants will enjoy a relaxed social gathering, an orientation around the venue, and the chance to form lasting connections with others who share similar experiences. Kellie Hayes, Director of Cocky Guides Australia, said the program helps break down barriers to inclusion. “White Cane Mingle brings the broader community together with blind and low-vision individuals to help build meaningful social networks. Together with Moorebank Sports Club, we’re creating a supportive hub for Sydney’s south-west.” Complimentary transport is available from nearby suburbs and train stations.
