Overall the trip was a very fun and rewarding trip. A lot of the time in fiji was spent doing very fun service. We worked with young kids at a local school and helped to improve their school buildings. In australia and new zealand we did lots of sight seeing, adventure activities, and culture immersion. Overall the trip was very fun and rewarding and I would recommend it to anyone.

What you need to know about volunteering in Brisbane

As the bustling capital city of Queensland, Brisbane has no shortage of things to entertain international volunteers (kangaroos excluded) before, during and after their volunteer work. Make an impact while also have a super fun experience!

Popular causes/projects in Brisbane. Australia remains one of the largest but most sparsely populated countries in the world, so a majority of the volunteer projects in the country involve some sort of environmental work. That is no exception in Brisbane! With close proximity to the Barrier Reef, several national parks and state forests, Brisbane has a bevy of options to offer international volunteers who are passionate about environmental work. Given its access to natural surroundings, some of the most popular projects in this region of Australia are animal welfare, reforestation and marine conservation. There is no shortage of outdoorsy causes to support!

Short term volunteer programs in Brisbane. If you only have a few weeks to dedicate to life down under, don’t worry—there are plenty of ways to participate in short-term volunteer work in Brisbane! Conservation related projects are incredibly popular because they give you a chance to get your feet wet (literally wet in the ocean!) for just a few weeks at a time. Brisbane suffers from a sweltering heat during the summer especially in January, so you’ll want to take that into account in your decision making.

Long term volunteer projects in Brisbane. If you’re going to fly all the way to Australia, you might as well stay for a while with a long-term volunteer project! Long term projects really allow you to make an impact the local community. Many of Australia’s urban areas, Brisbane included, have marginalized communities that can benefit from the work of long-term volunteers supporting their local causes. Plus, you’ll be developing some serious skills to add to your resume!
