International and cross-cultural volunteering

Palms Australia is an independent Australian volunteer sending organisation with over 46 years experience in recruiting, preparing, sending and supporting volunteers for work overseas and in cross-cultural situations.

Palms responds to requests from global communities, in the Pacific, Asia, Africa and indigenous Australia by sending skilled Australian volunteers abroad as part of our skills exchange program. Exchanging skills ensures the benefits are long term and sustainable for the overseas community and the volunteer. Want to volunteer overseas?

Palms' independence is our strength, allowing us to focus on development as it should be done, from the ground-up, free from party-political agendas and with an understanding of the importance of relationship building and a respect for all cultures.

Palms Australia's cross-cultural preparation is second-to-none and our specifically-tailored courses are now available to schools, businesses and other development, mission, government or volunteering agencies.
