Australian Volunteers International

Overview

Australian Volunteers International is Australia's longest-running international volunteer organization, established in 1951. As a non-profit, it recruits skilled Australian professionals to collaborate with partner organizations across Asia, the Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East. The organization focuses on poverty reduction, human rights, gender equality, education, health access, and environmental protection.

It facilitates skilled volunteer assignments and provides support such as airfares, living allowances, and insurance. The organization offers small grants, training, networking opportunities, and ongoing support for past volunteers. Under the Australian Volunteers Program, Australian Volunteers International emphasizes sustainable, locally led change through knowledge exchange and capacity building, working with over 1,200 partners in 70 countries to contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
