Things to Do
There are a range of regular ongoing and one-off programs available for young people aged 12-24 in Fairfield City. Some of these are run by us at Fairfield City Council and many more are run by our network of local youth services.
We aim to create and support spaces to connect, build skills, pursue hobbies, share your voice, get support and feel safe, study, or just to have fun!
Browse this page for a shortlist of things to do and places to go for people aged 12-24.
