We support skilled Australians to volunteer overseas to contribute to locally-driven, sustainable development.

For more than 60 years the Australian Government has supported thousands of Australians to volunteer in developing countries.

Our approach

We support partner organisations in the Indo-Pacific region to achieve their development goals by matching them with Australian volunteers who are committed to sharing their skills and knowledge.
