Australian Volunteers Program Brisbane / Meeanjin Information Session

The Australian Government has supported skilled Australians to volunteer overseas for over six decades. Join us in Brisbane / Meeanjin and learn how you can support overseas organisations to achieve locally led development goals. In this Information Session, you’ll:

• Meet Australian Volunteers Program staff who will share insights about the program and the application process.
• Gain an understanding of the support that the program provides to volunteers such as allowances, flights and visa support.
• Hear from former volunteers who will share their experience on assignment and give you a glimpse of what life is like as a volunteer.

Australian volunteers come from a broad range of sectors, contributing the specific skills and experience required to support our partners. We offer a range of volunteering modalities; in-country, hybrid and remotely from home.
