Australia or “Down Under” has been a prime destination for backpackers & adventurers for a long time, but more and more people want to get a deeper understanding of the country and its history and culture. The Indigenous cultures of Australia are the oldest living cul-tural history in the world - they go back at least 50,000 years and some argue closer to 65,000 years.

Australian Internships is excited to launch a sister company Volunteers Australia offering Volunteer Programs which provide unique op-portunities to experience life as a volunteer in an Australian Indigenous community. Immerse your-self into the impressive nature and cultural heri-tage with projects in:

-  Healthcare

-  Childcare

-  Education

-  Housing

- Arts and Culture and

- Environmental Sustainability

 All volunteers will work in partnership with the local people in a variety of community-based projects.

The aim of the Indigenous Volunteer Program is to provide a unique opportunity to experience life as a volunteer in an Aboriginal or Torres Straight Islander community. Through daily work and interaction with community members, volunteers will gain insights into local culture and major issues facing communities. Candidates will provide assistance and aid to the Indigenous population of Australia in areas such as healthcare, childcare, education, housing, arts and culture and environmental sustainability.
