Volunteering

Our Partners offer different support for each of their programs and these can vary widely. Below you will find a generalised list, but we recommend you view the relevant pages or contact us for Program-specific information.

Volunteers will generally need to cover their own expenses for:

  • flights to/from the Program destination

  • visa to enter the country
  • in-country veterinary registrations
  • any relevant vaccinations for the program (i.e. rabies)
  • all COVID-19 related travel requirements (i.e. in-country testing, all vaccinations)
  • daily living expenses - meals etc
What's provided:
  • airport pick-up/drop-off
  • domestic flights to any remote project locations
  • accommodation during outreach,
  • insurances (see next FAQ)
  • liaison contact to provide in-country support, hospitality, and orientation.

VBB provides limited Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance cover for those who meet ALL of the following criteria:

  • Approved by our veterinary team to volunteer with VBB
  • Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident

VBB deploys experienced veterinary volunteers with a minimum of 2 years post-graduate clinical experience. Volunteers must hold the following qualifications to be eligible to volunteer.

Veterinarians: Must hold a veterinary science qualification recognised by the Australian Veterinary Boards Council or the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and be registered to practise in the jurisdiction of usual residence.

Veterinary Nurses: Awarded a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing or Bachelor of Veterinary Technology/Nursing, or equivalent.

Veterinarians with between 1 and 2 years relevant clinical experience are considered on a case-by-case basis. New graduates and final year veterinary students are encouraged to volunteer as veterinary aides. Contact us at admin@vetsbeyondborders.org for more information.

When veterinary students are deployed, they are only authorised to perform the duties of veterinary nurses. They are not permitted to perform acts of veterinary science. They must be supervised by a registered veterinarian or other senior staff member of the Program's staff, to ensure that their duties are restricted to those of a veterinary nurse
