A little bit more about WWOOF Australia

WWOOF Australia was established in 1981 and is 100% Australian owned and run. It is part of a worldwide WWOOF volunteer and cultural exchange movement.

What is WWOOFing?

Travelling Australia, volunteering for 4-6 hours per day while living and learning on an organic Host property. Membership is for one (Single) or two (Dual) Volunteers for 2 years. Families can also join on a Dual membership.

Each country operates independently, with its own lists of WWOOFers and WWOOF hosts.

Host profiles provide members with names, contact details, a description and map location of each host property with reviews and photos, as well as the skills you can learn and the kind of living arrangements and types of meals provided.

WWOOF hosts practice sustainable land care: organics, biodynamics or permaculture.

When you join as a WWOOFer you too will build your profile within our platform again with your details and a description about yourself and what you would like to learn. Once you are finished you can start searching for Hosts in 5 ways:

Map Search: As you work out your travel plans our Map Search is a quick visual way to find hosts in a particular location.

List Search: Type in words such as e.g. winemaking, horses, bees, organic, permaculture, biodynamic, sustainable living for example.

Notice Board: A great place for hosts and WWOOFers to advertise for each other.

Forum: On the forum, we have a section called WWOOFers wanted.

News Page: Keep up to date with all WWOOF news about our Hosts, WWOOFers and community events.

WWOOF Australia would love for you to join our community and take up our fantastic offer of a 20% discount to all SLCC students by simply using the code: SustainableLiving when you join.
