Our Events

Where Fun, Community and Life-Changing Impact Come Together

Taking part in a Variety Queensland event is an exciting and fun way to raise funds for children in need. As well as helping children and their families, events are a wonderful opportunity to connect with Variety supporters and local communities – and experience what it means to be part of the ‘Variety Family’.

QLD Variety Bash

2 - 12 August 2027

The Variety Bash is Australia’s longest running and most legendary charity motoring event, taking place for over 40 years and raising funds to support Aussie kids in need.

In 2027, we’re heading from Roma to the Sunshine Coast via Airlie Beach!

As we hit the road in 25-year-old-plus cars, we’ll travel through some of Queensland’s most spectacular scenery, stopping in remote towns and creating memories to last a lifetime.

Variety 4WD Adventure

3 - 13 Nov 2026

The Variety 4WD Adventure takes you deep into Australia’s most breathtaking outback regions with full medical and mechanical support.

In 2026, the Variety 4WD Adventure will journey to South Australia’s spectacular Flinders Ranges – an unforgettable outback experience where tackling rugged tracks and sharing the adventure helps raise vital funds to support children who are sick, disadvantaged or living with disabilities.

Yamaha Variety Jet Trek

16 May 2027 - 22 May 2027

The iconic Yamaha Variety Jet Trek is Australia’s largest and most successful charity personal watercraft (PWC) event – a fully supported, once-in-a-lifetime journey along spectacular coastlines.

In 2027, the Yamaha Variety Jet Trek will travel from Port Macquarie to Brisbane from 16 – 22 May, showcasing the breathtaking coastline of East Coast Australia along the way – the perfect backdrop for a week that brings together adventure, camaraderie, and the unmistakable spirit of the Jet Trek community.

Donate Your Hair

Make a real difference for kids who have lost their hair. By donating your locks, you’re giving more than hair. You’re giving confidence. Every donation helps transform a child’s day-to-day life and makes them feel like themselves again.

Workplace Giving

Workplace giving allows employees to make small, regular donations directly from their pre-tax pay.

It’s easy, flexible and completely voluntary.
