JDRF's JUMP Day is 17th March 2024, except for Darwin. If you can't attend a JUMP location on that date, we can give you a voucher instead.
What about the weather?
As skydiving is dependent on safe weather conditions, your jump can only be confirmed on the morning of event day. If an event has to be cancelled, we will either re-schedule to a later date, or provide you with a voucher so you can jump at a time of your own choosing.
Is there an age limit?
You must be over the age of 16 and otherwise considered fit and healthy. If under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must be present on the day of the jump.
How long will it take?
