Are You Ready to Take the PLUNGE?
One bucket list experience. One worthy cause. One unforgettable day.
Join the Central Park Plunge 2025 and help change lives. Now in its 10th year, this event invites you to abseil 130 metres down Perth’s Central Park Tower and raise funds for burns research and care.
Led by renowned plastic and reconstructive surgeon Professor Fiona Wood, our not-for-profit Foundation transforms cutting-edge research into new treatments that heal burns faster and minimise scarring. This research spans the entire patient journey changing lives from the moment of injury through to long-term recovery.
Funds raised will help build a state-of-the-art data platform that securely integrates biological samples with comprehensive clinical, psychological and physiological data. This advanced resource will equip researchers with the insights needed to deliver more precise, evidence-based care for people affected by burns.
By taking on the PLUNGE, you will:
Unlock the full potential of long-term data to advance patient recovery and wellbeing
Improve the accuracy and effectiveness of burn assessment, monitoring and treatment
Strengthen research that tracks recovery from initial care through to long-term rehabilitation
Drive the development of highly personalised, research-led treatment approaches
Position Western Australia at the forefront of global, data-driven burn care research and innovation
How it works

No experience needed just bring your determination and we will support you every step of the way, from signing up to reaching your fundraising goals and cheering you on the day.
We are looking for 60 incredible people ready to harness up and take part in this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
