Registering for the Talent Pool is also the best way to be considered for an in-country assignment. We currently offer a small number of in-country assignments, and where possible we will contact potential applicants from our Talent Pool. Learn more under in-country volunteering.

If you meet the requirements to be an Australian volunteer and are ready to volunteer in the next three to 12 months. The Talent Pool allows us to keep your details on file and consider you for future assignments.

The registration link will take you through the Australian Volunteer Portal where you will be asked to create an account and complete a profile. You will be asked to provide:

• Personal contact details
• Passport information
• Current curriculum vitae
• A recorded video interview answering questions about yourself and your motivations. Learn more about the video interview.

Give yourself two-to-three days to complete this registration, and remember the more detail you provide here, the better your chances of being matched to the right assignment.

One of our recruiters will be in touch to discuss your application further, depending on our current requirements. We’ll also keep you posted on the latest updates about the Australian Volunteers Program.

Your registration will lapse after six months of inactivity, which means you need to log in every few months to make sure your details are up to date. If your account is inactive for more than six months it will expire and you will no longer be contacted for roles unless you register again. We'll send you a reminder email two months before this happens.
