FAQs

Yes! Anyone from any skill level is welcome to join us as we're playing a 4-person Ambrose game. The only requirement for this game is that you'll need is your own clubs.

If you haven't played before, you can find out more in the What is the format of the game? FAQ above.

Not for this event. Sorry! This is a player only event to keep the game moving while raising funds for a great cause.

This game will require you to bring your own clubs.

As we're in sunny Queenslander, the UV level will reach 3 or above throughout the day so it's important to stay hydrated by bringing a water bottle or sports drink, and wear and bring sunscreen with you while you're outdoors.

For the best sun protection, our friends at Cancer Council recommend you:

• Slip on some sun-protective clothing that covers as much skin as possible.
• Slop on SPF 50 or SPF50+, broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen. Put it on 20 minutes before you go outdoors and every two hours afterwards. 
• Slap on a hat – broad brim or legionnaire style to protect your face, head, neck and ears.
• Seek shade.
• Slide on some sunglasses – make sure they meet Australian Standards.

Here at BlueCare we know how much you value your privacy while looking for ways to support your neighbourhood. We want you to know that we give the same level of importance to protecting the personal information that you provide to us when donating, fundraising, volunteering and using our services and websites.

We know that reading a privacy policy isn’t the most thrilling or inspiring thing to do, but it is a very important document, which you can read over on our Privacy Policy page.

We love being able to communicate with you about the different ways you can support your neighbourhood but if you change your mind and no longer wish to receive communications from us, you can:

• Follow the opt-out (sometimes also known as “manage subscription” or “unsubscribe”) instruction in the emails we send you.
• If you have opted in to receiving text messages from us and wish to opt out, you can follow the opt-out instruction in that specific text message if you wish to opt-out.
• To update your communication preferences for all things donating and fundraising you can contact us at fundraising@bluecare.org.au.

While we would love to see all technology used to make the world a better place, some people use technology to mirror charities - but they don’t have the charity's important cause at heart. BlueCare is a registered Australian charity, proudly part of UnitingCare Queensland, and we follow all fundraising and government legislation.

Our mail and email fundraising will always have the BlueCare brand on it, communicate with you from an official BlueCare email address such as fundraising@bluecare.org.au, and direct you to our websites – bluecare.org.au or fundraise.bluecare.org.au.

If someone is raising funds on BlueCare's behalf, their online donation page should start with fundraise.bluecare.org.au and be able to share their Letter of Authority to Fundraise from BlueCare too.

If you see, read or hear something that you think isn’t quite right and want to check it with us – we’d definitely like to know too – reach out to our Supporter Experience team on 1800 001 953 or fundraising@bluecare.org.au.

BlueCare fundraises in a range of ways to help our dedicated teams go above and beyond what care packages and paid services can provide.

• Corporate partners
• State and federal government
• Trusts, foundations and grants

We fundraise:

• online (through emails, social media and our websites)
