If you've considered volunteering overseas, come along to an information session to learn about the Australian Volunteers for International Development (AVID) program – an Australian aid initiative.

Information Sessions are an excellent opportunity to learn more about the Australian Volunteers for International Development program. Panellists of returned volunteers will be sharing their experiences and stories, and Scope Global staff will provide further information and advice about applying and what to expect if successful. You will also have the opportunity to meet and greet our returned volunteers, and have your questions answered in a panel style Q&A format.

AVID roles (or ‘assignments’ as we call them) are available in a variety of sectors including law, marketing, education, IT, agriculture, human rights, engineering, health, finance, development, environment, media, arts and sports.

The program provides -

  • Paid volunteer work through living allowances
    • Here’s what past attendees have said about the sessions:

    "Fantastic. Comprehensive without being overwhelming. Great presenters. Enjoyed listening to the personal stories."

    "Enjoyed the returned volunteers' talks and the opportunity to speak to them personally."

    "Loved the panellist session - very honest answers. Hearing the top two challenges, words of wisdom, lessons learnt from the volunteers was great."

    The Australian Government is working in partnership to send volunteers overseas through the Australian Volunteers for International Development program.
