COUNTRY INFORMATION
In 2016, the Australian Council of Social Service released a report stating that poverty is on the rise. Volunteers can be essential to the country by assisting in wildlife and environmental preservation, as well as habitat restoration.
That's not all, skilled long-term volunteers are also needed to teach and tutor the many refugees and immigrants coming to Australia. The country's biggest cities also need assistance caring for the homeless.
If you've volunteered in Australia, we'd love to hear about your experience. Please let us know which organization you signed up with, what your trip was like, and if you'd recommend the program to others.
