The 36-hole tournament, includes an 18-hole pro-am and two days of competitive play. It forms part of a six-event series across NSW feeding into the 2025 FORD NSW Open Championship.

Each qualifier offers a AUD50,000 purse for professionals, with the top three finishers — professional or amateur — earning a spot in the NSW Open this November. The series kicks off at Teven Valley Golf Club near Ballina and concludes in September at Queanbeyan.
