Where do the funds go?
All monies raised by you go directly to the The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia using funraisin. All donations over $2 are tax deductible and go directly to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia – no expenses are deducted from these donations, 100% of all donations go to assist with prostate cancer research.
How much do I have to raise?
Each vehicle is required to raise a minimum of $1,500 for Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and all donors receive a receipt for their donations. Of course you don’t have to do this on your own, most people ask their family and friends to support them. You don’t have to stop at $1,500, we also will have an award on the final night for our highest fundraiser.
How long is the Rally?
The Rally is 8 days from the start point to the finish point. As the start point is usually in a remote location - most people will arrive at the start point a day or 2 before the official first day. Many will take their time driving home but others will do it quickly.

Do I need a 4WD?
Ideally your vehicle should be 4WD, but we have had fun rally cars in the past (this depends on your confidence and capability). We have had a 1920's Ford in past years, but they came along with their own support vehicle, spares and mechanics. If you are uncertain if your vehicle will suffice, please get in touch with our Event Director Peter Fehon on 0414 284 489 or peter@charitycarevents.com.au.
Do you have support vehicles on the Rally?
Yes, we will have a minimum two mechanical support vehicles and medical support.
What equipment do I need in my car?
Your vehicle will need a UHF radio, dust lights and a snatch strap. Your vehicle must be road registered, roadworthy and insured for a minimum of third party property.
How do I enter?
You must register via our website prostatecancerrally.com.au.
How much does it cost to enter the Rally?
The registration fee is $750.00.
How much are the meals?
The meal cost is $900 per person. This includes all breakfasts, lunches and all but one dinner. There will be one night where you can do your own thing, or organise to dine with other participants.
How many vehicles will be on the Rally?
In the past we were limited to 40 vehicles due to limited accommodation, but we are now staying in larger towns so we can accommodate more participants and raise more funds for Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. We will still have amazing outback experiences.
Do I have to camp?
No, but camp if you wish. Participants will all make their own accommodation arrangements. We will provide a list of options to help you.
Where can I find out more information?
Please refer to our website www.prostatecancerrally.com.au for full details and registration.
Are my registration and meals fees refundable?
Generally, no. But if the event is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances, you will be offered a refund of the registration fee or you can carry it over to the next Rally. Meal costs may be fully or partially refunded depending on the providers. If you need to cancel for any reason, please get in touch with our Event Director Peter Fehon on 0414 284 489 or peter@charitycarevents.com.au to discuss.
What precautions will you be taking for COVID-19?
We have a registered COVID plan with Service NSW. We will be relying on all accommodation and meal providers to comply with the current rules for COVID-19. We encourage you to always have a face mask and hand sanitiser on hand and ready to use.
Do people dress up?
Some people like to wear fun clothing and/or costumes, but it is completely up to you what you wear. One evening we will have a fun night which may involve optional dressing up. We will keep you posted.
