The Difference You'll Make
For nearly 50 years, ONE80TC has been a beacon of hope for adults struggling with addiction and other life-controlling issues. They provide an environment where those needing help to overcome life controlling issues and addictions can feel loved, accepted and cared for.
ONE80TC offers Residential Programs, Aftercare and Outreach Programs and Day Programs which help people put their lives back together and set them on a pathway to success.
Each resident stays at the rehabilitation facility for up to 12 months, which costs around $60,000. This covers all living facilities, food, general wellbeing, health care and mental health care and other counselling services on and off site.
By taking part in the ONE80TC Three Peaks Challenge 2025, you’re helping raise funds to cover these costs, and ultimately encouraging visitors to rebuild their lives with a positive attitude, responsibility and trust.
Every dollar counts.

Trip notes
You will make your own way to Perisher for the start of our adventure. You will need to arrive in the late afternoon, in time for our team briefing to prepare to summit three of Australia’s highest mountains. Following this, we will all enjoy our first meal together. Be sure to get an early night; we have a big day ahead of us!
Accommodation: Ski Lodge
Meals: D
Today’s the big day! We depart our lodge and take a 15-minute drive to Charlotte Pass, the starting point of our trek. The first peak we tackle will be Etheridge Ridge, the fifth-highest mountain in Australia. We begin on the summit road via the historic Seaman’s Hut, built in 1929 as a memorial to skiers Laurie Seaman and Evan Hayes. After about 7km, we reach Rawson’s Pass, where we take a rest break before tackling the final 1.8km to the summit of Mt Kosciuszko, Australia’s highest peak. At the top, we celebrate a job well done, before descending along the Lakes Circuit track and then completing our final summit of the day, Mt Carruthers. The views from here are stunning, and we take the time to soak up the views before returning to Charlotte Pass via a stone crossing at Snowy River. We return to our lodge, tired but proud of what we have achieved, and celebrate over a group dinner together.

Absolutely! Fundraising with a friend is a great idea. Just remember the fundraising target is per person, so you will each need to meet the minimum fundraising goal to participate. We know you can do it.
