Voluntary
Work - Some voluntary work may be permitted. You will need to
approach a department office or overseas mission before undertaking
any voluntary work. An officer can advise you if the proposed
activity is permissible.
Generally,
permission is only granted if:
- your
main purpose in visiting Australia is tourism, and any voluntary
work you do remains incidental to this;
- the work
you do would not otherwise be done in return for wages by
an Australian resident; and
- the work
activities are genuinely voluntary and you do not receive
any payment in return for the activities (board or lodging
may be excepted).
