Eligibility

Program volunteers must be Australian citizens or holders of a Permanent Residency Visa of Australia, or New Zealand residents in Australia with a Special Category Visa (SCV).

Hybrid volunteers must not be living in a country where the program operates while not in their in-country phase. This is due to insurance provisions made for in-country volunteers in those countries, which cannot be extended to remote phases of the assignment.

When applying for a hybrid assignment, ensure that the length of each phase aligns with your availability. The length of time for the in-country and remote phases have been determined by the partner organisation to meet their requirements.

Do your research

Familiarise yourself with the position description for the assignment you're interested in and get acquainted with the partner organisation and the work they do.

Research the country and local area, considering the climate and culture and other factors that may impact your experience living in the region as a volunteer. Our country pages (LINK) provide a starting point.
