How Do We Do This?
We work closely with the charity before, during and after every trip to ensure specific requirements are met. Assistance with fundraising is provided pre-departure before the group completes their challenge under the careful supervision of Antipodeans Abroad.
As Australia's leading Charity Challenge provider we have expert knowledge and have personally guided each and every challenge itinerary we offer. During your challenge the Antipodeans Abroad Guide is responsible for all safety, logistics and group dynamics. A highly experienced medic also accompanies most trips.
Why Should Your Charity Be Involved?
The Charity Challenge Process:
Antipodeans Abroad has been operating expeditions, challenges and volunteer community placements for over a decade and has a wealth of experience to advise you on the following process and timeline.
Initial Meeting We will arrange a meeting with you to discuss your requirements and outline a few of our more popular challenges based on your time frame, size of challenge, supporter profile and budget requirements.
Challenge Itinerary Once the team challenge has been agreed upon we will provide you with a detailed itinerary, risk assessment, equipment list, Insurance advice, fundraising pack and booking forms.
Challenge Participants Depending on your resources we will assist you to recruit adventure loving participants to form the group - we can do as little or as much of this as you like.
First Team Meeting We are able to hold a first team meeting to motivate the group and provide them with a useful time frame in the lead up to their challenge. Each participant will be given a Challenge Handbook detailing all required pre-departure preparation.
Antipodeans Abroad Office Support A dedicated Antipodeans Abroad staff member will be assigned to your charity's challenge and be available for any questions participants may have to ensure they are 100% prepared for the challenge.
Payment A deposit of $500 is needed at the time of booking with full payment due 60 days prior to departure. We leave the decision to you if a participant has not fully reached the fundraising target.
Pre-departure Briefing We can work with you to organize meetings and pre-departure activities covering all aspects from kit lists, responsible tourism, diet and health issues. Pre-departure sessions can be managed and run by your charity or Antipodeans Abroad.
Back Up Whilst the group is overseas Antipodeans Abroad are on 24-hour support both in the destination and here in Australia.
Debrief Feedback, post trip, is very important to us and is used to improve operations if necessary to ensure next year's trip is even more successful.
