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).
