Risk Management

Safety - our priority
- Keeping our guests safe is highest priority at all QCCC campsites. Our management team is constantly reviewing all activities and venues so that any problems can be identified and simple, effective solutions can be provided for their management.

Our employees monitor events and situations to ensure the safety – physical, material and otherwise – of not only our guests, but of those with whom we conduct business, our staff, officers and facilities.
This keeps the potential for problems at our campsites down while allowing everyone to have fun in a low-risk environment.

Risk Management Procedures are also documented in the latest Risk Management Policy, which can be viewed upon request.

The Welfare of Children - QCCC is committed to ensuring that the safety, welfare and wellbeing of children is maintained at all times during their attendance at our facilities and during their participation in activities that are arranged and supervised by our staff and officers.
QCCC promotes a safe environment for all children, assisting all staff and officers in the development of safe practices that will help them recognize child abuse or any contravention of the welfare or rights of children and young people.  Should such a situation arise the appropriate notification procedures will be followed immediately.

Pricing Policy – QCCC is a charitable organization and camp prices are kept to a minimum. No GST is charged. Prices cover food, accommodation, programme coordination and assistance from QCCC staff. As each camp is designed to meet the specific requirements of each particular group, prices may vary according to site and programme components. Please contact the site of your choice for more information.
