The Difference You'll Make
Trilogy Foundation believes that every individual has the potential to become a valued member of the community. We empower lives and transform futures through charitable programs that build capacity, connection, opportunities and confidence among highly vulnerable youth and their families, as well as caregivers of at-risk youth.
The children and teens that Trilogy Foundation serve come through different pathways, but they all share a common need for stability, support and hope. Many have grown up in traumatic environments and are searching for their first real sense of safety and stability.
These remarkable young people often face multiple, overlapping challenges including mental health struggles, trauma responses, and disabilities. What they deserve is someone who believes in their potential and the resources to help them flourish.
Taking a step on the trail as you take part in the Trek Kosciuszko for Trilogy Foundation adventure will kick goals for youth and community. The funds you raise will help to provide:
- Personalised mentorship and flexible support tailored to each young person’s goals
- Nutritious food, warm clothing and essential hygiene produces
- Access to health services and educational opportunities
- Extra-curricular activities that build skills and confidence
- Education and support groups for carers, creating intergenerational change
Join us on the trek to help ensure that every young person has the future they deserve.

On the way down, we will want to have our camera at the ready for the views of Australia’s highest mountains, historic huts, weathered snow gums and rock formations.

Tonight, we will be treated to a delicious 2-course meal at the lodge to celebrate a job well done.

How challenging is this adventure?
This adventure is ranked 3/5. While no extensive trekking experience is required prior to registering, our adventures are specifically designed for people who are relatively fit and willing to train. The Kozi summit trek is a physical challenge, and the fitter you are, the more you will enjoy the experience.
You will be well supported on the adventure, with the guides and your team all cheering you on. You are free to move at your own pace and we will take frequent breaks.
How many people will be on my adventure?
We believe small group travel is better for the planet, and better for you. Our adventures average between 10 - 20 participants, connected by their commitment to the greater good.
Can I join an Inspired Adventure on my own?
Of course, most people do! Throughout your adventure journey, we will connect you with your fellow adventurers so you can get to know each other before you hit the road.
What is the general age range of participants?
The minimum age for this adventure is 18, however younger ages are considered on application. We have had participants aged 16–84+ take part in our challenges, all united by their sense of philanthropy and adventure.
I have dietary requirements, will I be catered for?
Of course, we will happily arrange for any dietary requirements you’ve noted during booking to be catered for. Please advise your local guide on Day 1 as well. You will be fed very well while you’re on the adventure, but if you have a very specific dietary requirement or severe allergies, often it’s best to pack some extra things as back-up.
Do I have to carry my own bag?
On most adventures, you'll only need to carry a day bag with essentials for your day of activities. Your luggage/big backpacks will either stay at your accommodation, be transferred to your next accommodation, or will be carried by porters.

As part of your training, we recommend making use of your free time to complete several day hikes. You should aim to be able to walk in hilly terrain for 5+ hours comfortably and get up and do it again the next day.
It is sensible to start training as early as possible before you go on your trek.

By registering for the adventure, you agree to raise the minimum fundraising amount specified. Like you, we are looking to make a significant impact for our charity partners, so the goal is for each person to have met their fundraising target before departure. If you fail to raise the minimum fundraising target by this time, we will review the situation on a case-by-case basis.
I’m travelling with a friend, can we fundraise 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.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
The funds raised for Trilogy Foundation are tax-deductible (conditions apply).
