We are now accepting new volunteers and please complete this form and our volunteer coordinator will be in contact.
Thanks to everyone who has expressed an interest in volunteering at Billabong Sanctuary.
Your help is so important to us: It allows us to maintain the highest standards of animal welfare, as well as to provide an outstanding experience for our visitors.
We do apologize that we are unable to accept any new applications at the moment.
We are at capacity with more than enough volunteers to see us through the rest of the year. Early in January we will re-evaluate the situation. Please check back on this page after the Christmas holidays.
Once again, we thank you all.

Volunteer opportunities are available in a range of areas, from assisting our Rangers with their day-to-day work, to keeping our grounds in good shape and providing educational opportunities and resources.
Volunteers are accepted for either a set period of time on placement (students completing university or TAFE course requirements; and participants in programmes such as Fronteering), or for an ongoing commitment of their time (such as local retirees) with the chance to develop advanced and specialist skills.
