The challenge invites passionate hikers to embark on a transformative journey, all in support of young people with physical disabilities.
For four remarkable days, amidst the breathtaking scenery of Kosciuszko National Park and the awe-inspiring glacial lakes of Australia’s mainland, courageous Youngcare supporters take on a formidable challenge. They conquer a demanding 60km hike, conquering the top 10 peaks in Australia.

About the 10 Peaks Challenge
The Aussie 10 Peaks
Amongst the gorgeous alpine scenery, highlights include the incredible scenery of the Kosciuszko National Park, crossing the famous Snowy River and camping out at the base of Mt Kosciuszko!
60KM
Our fearless trekkers will be trekking over a challenging 60kms with 2 nights camping out exposed to the elements
The completely isolated environment, and tough conditions, where there is little control over personal choice, provides a striking reflection of the challenges that young people with high physical support needs face on a daily basis.
By participating in the trek or donating to one of our trekkers, you are helping Youngcare:
- Build more relevant and age-appropriate housing in Australia
- Provide information and support via our Youngcare Connect service
- Provide grants to young people with high physical support needs who are at risk of entering aged care to keep them at home, or transition them from aged care back into their community
- Undertake world-first research to better understand the needs of young people with high physical support needs
Too many young Australians with high physical support needs are being left behind. These young people deserve the freedom to live where and how they want — and it’s up to all of us to make that happen.
Youngcare is fighting for freedom, dignity and choice for young people with high physical support needs to choose where they live, who they live with, and how they live their lives.
Youngcare achieves this through developing aspirational Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), advocating for much-needed policy change, delivering vital grants programs, and providing education, advice and pathways through our free support service.
