Volunteer and Intern Oppertunities

We value our role as a community organisation and understand the importance of offering opportunities for volunteers and interns to contribute to our work, whilst gaining valuable skills and experience.

 

Volunteers and interns play an integral role in our organisation, contributing to all areas of our work including fundraising, events, research, citizen science, education, communication and administration. We are extremely appreciative of the dedication demonstrated by our interns and volunteers in helping us achieve our impacts.

Internships and Tertiary Placements are offered on a limited basis for local students when the timing and resourcing allows. Potential opportunities exist for students in science, social science, education, commerce and IT. We regret that we cannot offer placements to international students. Internship placements are limited and based on our project needs, so we recommend applying or discussing with your university coordinators in advance.

Volunteers are always encouraged to reach out if they have an interest in supporting our work. While we truly appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm, volunteer positions are limited and based on our current projects. If we are unable to offer you a position immediately, we encourage you to stay in touch or check our social media for future opportunities.

Secondary Work Experience is not currently offered due to our inability to provide the level of supervision required for secondary students. We do provide many opportunities for secondary students through our more formal education programs.
