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.
CHARITY FLIGHT
Join us for a very special day featuring Toowoomba’s famous Carnival of Flowers. Simon Marnie from the ABC’s weekend morning program and television’s Escape from the City returns as our highly entertaining host and as always we will be raising funds to support the amazing work NextSense does for children with vision or hearing loss. Delicious food and wine enjoyed over amazing views at our secret lunch destination will be a highlight of the day as well as a chance to reconnect with Charity Flight supporters old and new.
Tickets will sell fast so register your interest now to be part of this very special all-inclusive chartered day trip.
QANTAS PATHFINDERS REVUE
The Revue is turning 50 and we can’t wait to celebrate this amazing milestone with you.
It’s 50 years since Peter Owens and Vic Allen came up with a brilliant idea to create “My Fair Hostie”, a hilarious show based on the airline industry we all love and raise money for charity at the same time. With many millions of dollars raised and over 1,000 people who’ve volunteered their time and talents to bring the Revue to life over the years, we’re ready to look back at the best and funniest songs and skits to recall how special the Qantas Pathfinders Revue really is.
Make sure you put the dates in your diary and join us for a very special night of celebration and laughter.
