There’s one week left for applications to close for volunteer positions at Healesville Sanctuary.

The positions include Visitor Hosts and Australian Wildlife Health Centre Assistant Volunteers.

Volunteer Coordinator Alice Dickens said, the Sanctuary welcomes volunteers from all walks of life.

“If you’re looking to give back to the community, gain new skills, and spend time in a beautiful bush environment, then this opportunity could be for you,” Ms Dicken said.

A ‘Volunteer Visitor Host’ helps to welcome visitors, school groups and tours, provide helpful information and assist in delivering interpretive experiences in the Land of Parrots Aviary.

“What all our volunteers have in common is that they are passionate and dedicated advocates for fighting extinction,” Ms Dicken said.

Please note, volunteering roles do not include direct animal keeping duties.
