Our partners

For over 50 years, AAMI has helped Aussies recover from life’s unexpected events.  As one of the nations’ leading insurers, we understand the important role that we play in supporting the community, especially in times of adversity. We’re proud to be partnering with Vision Australia for their Carols by Candlelight event, to support their vital work helping blind or visually impaired children, and their families, achieve the greatest levels of independence.

This year marks the 85th annual Carols by Candlelight where some of Australia's most loved stars will perform a selection of Christmas favourites.

Entertainers will give family, friends and loved ones the opportunity to share in the spirit of Christmas.

The Carols will broadcast live from Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl on December 24th at 8pm on Channel Nine.

Situated in the heart of the Melbourne Arts Precinct, the Arts Centre Melbourne presents an extensive performing arts program. Experience Australia's best companies and international productions, alongside celebrations of comedy, cabaret, popular and contemporary music in a year round program. The Arts Centre Melbourne is thrilled to showcase its extraordinary outdoor venue, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, and be part of Vision Australia's Carols by Candlelight annual family evening.

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, starring Javier Bardem, Constance Wu and Shawn Mendes, is a brand-new comedy adventure movie for the whole family!

When the Primm family moves to New York, young Josh discovers Lyle - a singing crocodile (Mendes) who loves baths, caviar and great music - living in the attic of his new home.

The Primms show the world that family can come from the most unexpected places and there’s nothing wrong with a big singing crocodile with an even bigger personality.

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile features original songs written by the songwriting team behind The Greatest Showman.

Squealing Pig is a tale about a pig who wanted more from life than just his pig pen. Keen on wine, but not a fan of the bore that you get with it, he began his adventure in New Zealand, before travelling to Australia and spreading his wings to other parts of the world. The Squealing Pig ethos is to make cracking wines that are approachable, flavour-packed and pair brilliantly with no-fuss foods. And to have more fun than anyone else doing it.
