Do I have to book my spot for Hangouts?

Yes, it’s super important that if you’re planning on attending Hangouts, you book your spot! This is so we know how many people to expect and can plan the activity accordingly. To book, click here.

If I buy a ticket but cannot attend, what is the cancellation policy?

As our ticketed activities require us to book in advance to secure our spots, you must provide at least 48 hours notice if you are no longer able to attend to ensure you are not charged for the event.

There may be a time whilst at Hangouts when rules need to be broken for the safety and support of our people. 

Report all breaches of this policy to Bianca – Flying Fox Member Protection Officer – 0450678486 or bianca@flyingfox.org.au.

Will I be paired up with a Flying Fox Buddy, or will I need my own support?

Flying Fox organises the logistics and fun of Hangouts. Unlike our other programs, at Hangouts, we do not provide 1:1 support, therefore it is highly encouraged to bring a support worker.

If you don’t require any additional support, please acknowledge that you will be expected to participate independently during the activity.

If you are bringing a support worker, please ensure they complete this form before attending.
