The Difference You'll Make

The 2026 Walk for Change marks a powerful milestone — 10 years since the Women’s Legal Service Queensland (WLSQ) Helpline was established to support women experiencing domestic and family violence, complex family law matters and sexual assault.

Since 2016, the Helpline has answered more than 100,000 calls for help, with the majority from women experiencing domestic violence. Each call represents a woman reaching out at a critical moment, seeking safety, legal protection and a pathway forward.

By joining the 2026 Walk for Change, you will help ensure more women can have their calls answered and access free, specialist support when they need it most. Together, we can continue building safer futures, strengthening access to justice, and standing beside women at their most vulnerable moments.

This inspiring trek through Freycinet combines breathtaking Tasmanian landscapes with a shared sense of purpose. As you explore secluded beaches, rugged coastlines and iconic lookouts alongside fellow supporters, you will be making a real difference. Every step you take helps fund WLSQ’s essential legal and support services for women and children impacted by domestic and family violence.

Your Guide - Ellie

Ellie has been guiding in Tasmania for the best part of 10 years now, and couldn’t imagine working in a role that didn’t revolve around being in the natural environment. She has studied Horticulture, Permaculture and Beekeeping, and sharing the knowledge she’s gained over the years about the natural world brings her great joy. Ellie loves slowing down to observe the small things, and taking time to smell the wildflowers. When she’s not working, you’ll find her in a creek fossicking for sapphires, behind a pottery wheel, or on a mountain bike.

About the adventure

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 Freycinet trek involves trekking approximately 45 kilometres over 4 days. 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. You are transported in and out to the walks each day. Best of all, there are no heavy bags to carry just your day pack each day!

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. If you do not want to share a twin room there will be a single supplement charge.

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?

Yes, we will happily arrange for any dietary requirements you’ve noted during booking to be catered for. Your guide will also check on day 1. 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.

Who is Inspired Adventures?

WLSQ has partnered with Inspired Adventures to bring you this adventure of a lifetime. Over the last 20 years, Inspired Adventures has taken over 8,000 people, just like you, on adventures all around the world, raising over $50 million for important causes. When you choose to travel with Inspired Adventures, you can be confident you’re in the best hands.

Fitness and training

How do I train for this adventure?

We will provide you with information on how to prepare for your adventure when you register. In addition, we recommend that you consult your GP and a personal trainer to develop a training plan that will prepare you for the challenge.

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 sandy and 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.

Accommodation

What is the accommodation like?

Accommodation on this adventure is 4-star based on twin-share. You can expect the usual facilities and amenities.

Will I be sharing accommodation?

Accommodation on this adventure is based on twin-share. You will be paired with a teammate of the same gender and, whenever possible, age group. Single rooms are available at an additional cost and subject to availability.

I’m travelling with a friend, can we stay together?

Absolutely! If you’re travelling with a friend, please make note of this and we will pair you together.

Fundraising

How do I fundraise?

Never fundraised before? Not sure where to start? No worries, we don’t expect you to do it alone. You will have regular support from the Inspired Adventures fundraising team, who will help you make a fundraising plan to meet your target. Alongside personalised coaching, we will also send you lots of ideas and resources on how to fundraise. From online fundraising to trivia nights, to bake sales and out-of-the-box ideas, we have years and years of tried and tested tips to make your fundraising a success.

What happens if I don’t meet my fundraising target?

It’s normal to worry you won’t meet your fundraising target, but we know you can do it. In fact, with the support of Inspired Adventures, almost everyone goes on to raise far more than they imagined.

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.

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 WLSQ are tax-deductible (conditions apply).
