Home
Welcome to Qantas Pathfinders – one of Australia’s most successful volunteer fundraising committees. Through various fundraising events, support from our generous sponsors and donations, we have raised almost $9 million since we began in 1967. Pathfinders members are made up of a dedicated group of present and past Qantas employees including Cabin Crew, Pilots, ground staff and their families and friends who generously donate their time, energy and talents to ensure our annual events are a huge success.
Our focus is on holding fun events with a difference to help raise funds solely for NextSense (formerly the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children). Each year we raise approximately $300,000 to help NextSense continue their wonderful work providing quality and innovative services, education and care for children and adults with hearing and/or vision loss.
JOEY JOY FLIGHT
The annual Qantas Pathfinders Joey Joy Flight, in association with the Rotary Club of Turramurra, is a very exciting day for children with a disability or from a disadvantaged background to experience a flight onboard a Qantas 330 aircraft. To hear the screams, cheers of sheer delight and see the beaming smiles of these beautiful children as they take off on what may be their first ever flight is a sight to behold.
This very special 90 minute flight involves children and their carers who are nominated by schools, charities and other community groups.
