Volunteer Opportunities

Where would Humane World for Animals be without our volunteers? There are not enough ways to say thank you to these individuals.

Scientific Nominations and Research

We are sometimes looking for more volunteers to help us prepare scientific nominations for threatened species and ecological communities under the Federal EPBC Act. Humane World has many volunteers throughout Australia who have helped our campaigners by completing research and/or writing nominations to increase legal recognition and protection of our precious species and ecological communities. If you have ecological expertise, and you have completed an undergraduate science or related degree, please get in touch with us for information on the species and communities we are working on getting listed.

Humane World does not currently have any projects within Australia where we can provide volunteers with “hands-on” animal protection work.
