Australia Conservation Volunteers

Your Typical Itinerary

Projects normally run for 5 days per week, and you usually have one or two days free per week for relaxing or sightseeing. Project hours are normally from 8am - 4pm, although this varies on some projects.

You will usually travel to a different project location every week or two. This means that you will usually get to take part in a variety of project activities in different areas! You will not be offered a choice of projects, as they vary according to seasonal conditions and conservation priorities. CVA will do their best to provide a variety of projects or locations during your time as a volunteer, while achieving their essential conservation outcome, which always remains the priority.

Nature Saturdays
Nature Saturdays run on the second and forth Saturday of each month. They provide you with an opportunity to experience and enjoy the Australian bush and wildlife that you are helping to conserve.

Second Saturday of each month – a guided bush walk with an experienced guide

Forth Saturday of each month – entry to a wildlife or cultural exhibition.

Please note that nature Saturdays may change or be postponed in extreme weather conditions.  The guided bushwalks will not operate on days of total fire ban.

Please note: Itineraries and activities are subject to change.
