Our volunteers play a vital role in supporting our work and helping us to achieve our purpose to connect people with nature and save species from extinction.

Volunteering for Zoodoo is a wonderful opportunity to make a lasting contribution to our important wildlife conservation advocacy work while helping the zoo and its unique animal residents. Volunteers also experience some amazing moments, make new friends and create life-long memories.

Our volunteers love the outdoors, animals and interacting and engaging with people. Our generous volunteers contribute across our zoos through a range of people-facing and behind the scenes roles. Oftentimes they are they are the public face of the zoo and key connectors with guests to our animal and conservation stories.

As a volunteer you’ll gain knowledge, develop skills and use the skills and experiences you already posses, to contribute positively to our Zoo programs.

Due to the changes brought about by Covid-19, our volunteer program is currently on hold until further notice.

Please note: Almost all of our roles DO NOT involve working directly with our animals. In the rare instance when these types of roles are available, they are offered to suitable candidates from within our existing volunteer pool.

To become a volunteer you must:

• Be 18 years of age to apply.
• Have a current National Police Check or WWCC or be willing to undergo a screening;
• Be a current Zoo Crew Annual Member;
• Commit to regular service of about 180 hours per year of service. A weekly or at least fortnightly shift is expected so you can remain engaged and up-to-date with our organisation.
• Have your own email address and are comfortable or willing to learn, to use smart phones, tablets or PCs to access email, so you can use our online roster system, e-learning and access communication updates.
• Undertake our volunteer training and agree to act in accordance with our values, policies, procedures and processes.

If your interests match to our current recruitment needs you will be invited to attend a short ‘matching meeting’ via Zoom so we can see if you match to our program, values and culture, and that we match to your expectations!

NOTE: Selection to be a volunteer is a competitive process due to the limited places in our programs, compared to the number of applications we receive. However, applications are retained on our database unless you ask us to remove it.

We are seeking passionate, committed, curious, adaptable, positive & cheerful people who desire to serve our organisation as volunteers.

AN INVITE TO PROGRESS TO A MATCHING MEETING IS OFFERED TO APPLICANTS BASED ON MEETING OUR RECRUITMENT NEEDS (based on your General Interests in the application).

Attendance to commence training with Zoodoo will be by invitation. Those who match our recruitment needs will be contacted and invited to attend a matching interview via Zoom, to ensure that we are a match for each other, before an invite is offered.

NOTE:

Applications will be retained for future intakes unless you notify us to archive your application.

All applicants who are interviewed will be notified if they match to our programs or not.
