On these projects, you can volunteer for multiple days at a time. For residential programs involving an overnight stay there are some small costs involved to cover transport, accommodation and meals etc.

Residential volunteering programs runs in weekly blocks, starting and finishing on Fridays. Most volunteers choose packages of 4 weeks or longer. Volunteers can choose to start from any of our offices in Australia or New Zealand (25 locations around Australia / 2 in New Zealand). Packages include all of your food, accommodation and project related transport, as well as a minimum of 5 days volunteering on conservation projects (based on a one week package).
