Welcome to DEAi’s June/July 2026 Newsletter 
FUNDING:
GAMBLING COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUND
DEAI is pleased to announce that the Gambling Community Benefit Fund has once again provided financial support to purchase new equipment, helping us keep pace with evolving technology. We are grateful for the GCBF’s ongoing generosity — this investment will enhance our live performance capabilities, strengthen our workshop delivery, and enable the launch of a children’s program on the Gold Coast in early 2027.
WHAT’S HAPPENING:
FIND YOUR BEAT
DEAI is developing Find Your Beat, a new program for neurodivergent/autistic children aged 6-12 on the Gold Coast, planned to begin in 2027.
Responding to strong interest from parents for a supportive community, the program will combine music-based activities with skill development and social connection.
Further details and registration information will be announced as the program is finalised.
C2G
We continue to perform at C2G every Wednesday. Participants are demonstrating impressive progress in vocal technique and stage presence — a testament to their commitment and the supportive environment.
THE HUB – Tutoring and Technical Training
One-on-one music tutoring is available with Warren.
