Volunteer overseas in ICT
Contribute your skills to support locally led development in the Pacific, Asia and Africa.
The Australian Volunteers Program is an Australian Government-funded initiative that matches skilled Australians with partner organisations across the Pacific, Asia and Africa, supporting them to achieve locally led development goals.
Australian volunteers work with partner organisations on a range of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) projects. If you’re interested in cross-cultural exchange, experiencing new opportunities and challenging yourself, learn more about becoming an Australian volunteer. Assignments are suited to skilled volunteers who are willing to share their knowledge, be flexible and adaptable, and contribute to strengthening capacity in the local context.
Whether you're looking to volunteer in-country or remotely, check out our ICT assignments and discover the right fit for you.
