About the event
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.
We encourage people with disabilities, couples, people with children, people from the LGBTQIA+ community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to attend.
Everyone is welcome. Registration is essential.
The Brisbane / Meeanjin Information Session will start at 19:00 PM (AEST) and will run for an hour. The session will be held at the Brisbane Square Library, room details to be shared upon registration.
