Christmas Giving Tree launch

Australian Parliament House

Come along for the launch of the 2026 Christmas Giving Tree program! Each year, Parliament House helps raise money through the Christmas Giving Tree program for two charities that do important work for the community. The 2026 Giving Tree theme is 'Women in Rural Australia', which links to the 2026 United Nations International Year of the Woman Farmer. This free festive event kicks off with a tree-lighting ceremony and will include speeches by the Presiding Officers and representatives from the 2 nominated charities, plus an uplifting live choir performance. You can make donations to the charities via QR codes located in the Marble Foyer, the Queen's Terrace Café and the Parliament Shop. Celebrate the spirit of giving in the heart of our democracy, spread joy, and support two great charities to make this season truly special.
