Sensitive Santa

Everyone gets their time with Santa this Christmas with our Sensitive Santa option.

Join us for our Sensitive Santa experience where families can have a photo taken in a relaxed environment, tailored to children with sensory challenges. These calm and comfortable photography sessions take place before stores open when the centre is quieter to create a relaxed and sensory-friendly Santa experience.

Book your Sensitive Santa experience today.

Note: Online bookings are essential for Sensitive Santa photography sessions.

Auslan Santa

Westfield is proud to continue Auslan Santa, a program offering children who use Auslan as their primary form of communication, the chance to share their Christmas wish list directly with an Auslan-fluent Santa. Developed in collaboration with Deaf Australia, these sessions are longer and have helpers and an interpreter on hand to facilitate. Find Auslan Santa sessions at a Westfield centre near you.

Note: Online bookings are essential for Auslan photography sessions.

Pet Photography

Why should your four-legged family members miss out on all the fun? Bring them along for a Santa photo with the whole family.

Dress-ups are welcomed, so dress your pet in their best festive outfit to create the paw-fect Christmas memory to cherish for years to come.
