How to use this page

Open the opportunity that interests you and read the complete announcement. Check the publication date and look for the contact details at the end of the listing to find the host’s website, email address or application procedure.

Before accepting an opportunity, confirm the expected activities, weekly hours, days off, accommodation, meals, minimum stay and any fees or contributions directly with the host.

Voluntouring does not organise placements, select volunteers, arrange visas or mediate between volunteers and hosts. Older announcements may remain online for archival and informational purposes.

Visas and work exchanges

Immigration rules vary considerably between destinations in Oceania. An unpaid activity can still be treated as work, particularly when food, accommodation or other benefits are provided in exchange for regular duties.

Do not assume that tourist or visa-free entry automatically allows a work exchange. Check the official immigration rules for the specific destination and read Voluntouring’s work exchange and volunteer visa guide for general guidance.

You can also read our information about safety and legality in volunteering and work exchanges.

Important: project availability, immigration requirements and exchange conditions can change. Confirm current information directly with the host and relevant official authorities before making travel or financial commitments.
