In cooperation with Destiny Rescue, the pageant also ran as a charity event on June 4 at the Tide On The Jetty Manly in the city of Brisbane to raise funds available for rescuing children from sexual exploitation and human trafficking.[4][8][9]

This edition was the first Miss Grand Australia contest managed by Amber Sidney after she took over the license from a former licensee, Dani Fitch,[10][11] who served as the national director of the contest from 2017 to 2022.[10][12]
