The Australian Volunteers Program is an Australian Government-funded initiative that supports global volunteering. We support partner organisations operating across 26 countries to achieve locally-led change and the realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The program fosters strong, mutual relationships between Australia and people and communities across the Indo-Pacific to contribute to achieving equitable development outcomes.
We aim to:
Support partner organisations to progress their development objectives
Increase key stakeholders’ appreciation of the value of volunteering
Increase program participants’ cultural awareness and build stronger connections across countries
