Would you like to volunteer with us?

The Program: We operate the Sanctuary ourselves with the help of many volunteers from around the globe. Volunteer tasks include helping to prepare food and feeding animals daily (including giving bottles to babies), cleaning animal areas, and working on special projects that arise (for ex. building or repairing fences or caging - no prior experience or skills needed). We also operate a smal eco friendly educational tour to booked clients and school groups . So assistance in this is expected. You will be an expert on Australian Animals by the time you leave.

Minimum stay: 2 weeks, with an initial 3-day trial period to make sure it’s a good fit for both host & volunteer. We don’t accept volunteers during the wet season (Dec-March) or for calendar months that are blocked, so please don’t email to request an exception.

Accommodation: On the homestead Two small cabins with 2 beds each and a fan; flush toilet in main house and private outdoor shower. We provide 3 meals/day in the main house and we don’t cater special diets.

Location: We are located 2 hours from Darwin and 20 min. from Batchelor, but there is no local transport available. You will need to work with us to arrange a pick-up location and date/time near Darwin as we only drive into the city once per week. It is advisable to arrive the day before pick up as i have limited time in Darwin.

Other details: If you wish to keep in contact with friends and family , then you will need to buy a Telstra sim card for your mobile. Telstra is the only service that works here. We are very remote because of the high cost of service I pay my personal internet service is not available to volunteers.
