Accommodation: You'll have your own private self contained granny flat. It's a comfortable little space to call home while you're here, surrounded by the beautiful Northern Rivers and within easy reach of Mullumbimby, Brunswick Heads and Byron Bay. We can discuss meals/food arrangements before your stay so everyone knows exactly what is included. The exchange - We are looking for approximately 4 hours of help per day, generally 5 days per week, with plenty of time off to explore the area. We'd prefer people who can stay for at least 2-4 weeks, with longer stays possible when it's a great fit. 2 singles or a couple are welcome, particularly if you bring useful skills such as animal care, carpentry, fencing, gardening, maintenance or photography/social media. Most importantly, we're looking for people who genuinely love animals and understand that their welfare comes first. Every day is a little different! We’re looking for people happy to get involved wherever an extra pair of hands i...

G`day guys & girls . If you want Some good Aussie hospitality, come and stay with us. The volunteer work here counts for the 88 days for your visa as this area was subject to big flooding. We are living on a 200 hectare farm in Rollands Plains. Located on the mid north coast, surrounded by hills and valleys, great for bushwalking and exploring if that's what you`re into. We are predominantly an arable farm growing a large amount of garlic. Seasonally, we also grow egg plant, rhubarb, ginger, turmeric, pumpkin, yukon, artichoke, cucumber and corn, and whatever else we can put in the ground. All of our grown produce is certified organic. We do not use any sprays or pesticides. We also keep livestock. A herd of cattle, pigs, sheep and goats as well as chickens, ducks and guinea fowl. If you are interested in bees, we have some and produce our own honey. Our farm has a large dam which is great for swimming and fishing. There a large fresh water river close that is also great fo...

PLEASE READ MY WHOLE HOST PROFILE BEFORE YOU APPLY TO VISIT MY PLACE AND ASK ABOUT ANYTHING YOUR NOT CLEAR ON. Need help with a garden clean up, at the moment. You don't need to have an overwhelming desire to save the world, live off the land, or be more useful than a Swiss army knife, to stay here. A nice honest person is good enough. Your pronouns or political correctness are better off left in your backpack🤣😉 This is a relaxing place, close to nature, away from the backpacker trail on the coast but still got a bit happening, somewhere to recharge your batteries, do a bit of work, have a laugh and meet some real Aussies, maybe get out of your comfort zone a bit😜 My place is a cattle farm with one rough headed(inside and out 🤣,) skinny, old farmer, one dog, some cattle, lots of birds and wildlife, relaxing place, near Kyogle, a quiet country town. It is 1.5 hours drive west from Byron Bay, 2 hours south of Brisbane by train. Very close to the beautiful Border Ranges National...

We are a family of four living on five picturesque acres in a beautiful valley in the Perth Hills, Western Australia. Our property is home to a large garden with fruit trees, ornamental trees, ponds and garden beds, as well as a small flock of chickens and our two friendly dogs. With two teenage children and busy family lives, we're looking to welcome couples who would enjoy helping us care for our property while experiencing Australian family life. We especially value cultural exchange and enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds. While we strongly prefer couples, we may also consider singles who are a great fit. We also own a rural property in nearby Jarrahdale, so some tasks may take place there. Both properties are managed using biodynamic principles, and we have increasingly been incorporating permaculture practices into our land management. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who share these values or who are keen to learn more about regenerative agricu...

We live in the inner west suburb of Petersham in Sydney, close to public transport, cafes, restaurants, shops, cinemas etc. We have hosted many HelpXers over the years and enjoy meeting travellers from around the world. We also enjoy the help with cleaning, dog walking, sorting, painting & gardening etc. We offer all meals, a queen bedroom and shared bathrooms for 20 hours work a week (each person), which can be done flexibly. And it’s fine if you want to work less hours & organise your own food. If you’re heading north, we have a place 20 minutes north-west of Taree where we’d like help with cleaning, painting, gardening etc but you’d need a car to get there. We are a retired couple living with Alex, our 21-year old son, and Alfie the labradoodle who has recently gone blind.

NON SMOKERS ONLY! I am in LAUNCESTON TASMANIA. I (Yvonne) have a house in West Launceston, it is not a farm, it is a friendly house in a quiet Launceston suburb! I can accommodate one or two FEMALE helpers (Due to the religious Haram restrictions of one of our residents I can't accommodate male helpers) for about a week or so.... AFTER Sunday 1st November 2026. Minimum stay three nights. Please inquire about available dates. Accommodation (for a single or two females) is in a private room with a double-bed. (Pictured). I can also add a single camp-bed in this room if helpers are two women who don't share a bed. I have been unwell, have poor eyesight, am on a restricted diet and am often busy doing volunteer community work, so I find it too difficult to have to cook meals and supply food. I can only offer an arrangement where you do two hours work per day for just accommodation, plus you supply your own food, cook your own meals and clean up after yourself. If this sounds like somet...

There is plenty of space to walk in nature, feel the tranquility, hear the bird songs, and maybe glimpse a Kangaroo,Koala or Possum. As it has 2 buildings. One is our home where we all eat together and the other one is the Wellbeing. You would stay in the dormitory in the well-being building. It has 2 rooms with bunk beds in each and WIFI.

We are primary producers in the eliglible postcode(4854) for 88 day sign off for the 2nd and 3rd year visa. During October we would particularly love to host one or 2 people to help out around the garden, plant nursery and farm/orchard....Gardening, carpentry, welding(I'd love to get some shooting targets welded up ) or physical labour skills are particularly helpful...Conversational English make the stay more enjoyable for us all... We operate a small husband and wife online plant nursery and in our free time we enjoy taking a wwoofer or 2 out on regular boating trips catching barramundi and reef fish, crocodile spotting, fishing and exploring the islands, snorkeling around the Great Barrier Reef and Whale (June to Oct) and Dolphin spotting, ... so we would prefer folks that have an interest in boating/fishing and happy to tie their own fishing knots and set the anchor and dont get sea-sick....The more enthusiastic you are to help preparing the boats and cleaning up after the trip...

We are offering travelers a warm, comfortable two-story Celery Top Pine Pole home we built ourself. You will enjoy magical views of the ocean and mountain and will wake to the sounds of the wild birds that flock to our food and water bowls. We are regularly visited by possums, wallaby's and various other wildlife. If you're lucky you may even see a Tasmanian Devil. We aspire to a sustainable way of living and adore our large established organic garden, which we are needing help with maintaining. We ask helpers to provide a minimum of 4.5 hrs of work each day for 5 days with two full days off. If you would like a day off after working a few days we ask you to make up the hours on other days. Some helpers also purchase their own food and only work 2.5 hours a day if this suits you better. We are also very flexible and happy to listen to your requests.

VISA UPDATE: Due to recent and planned immigration changes we have taken the precaution of engaging with an Immigration lawyer to ensure all of farm's visa paperwork is verified and formally documented for the protection of our amazing HelpX volunteers. So we can now claim with certainty that your days spent here are FULLY COMPLIANT for 2nd & 3rd years' visas, postcode 2469, under "natural disaster" provisions (bushfire, flood and cyclone). Spring is here and warm days mean the start of growth. Vegetables are growing fruit trees are full of blossom, everything is waking up from a cold winter sleep. Nature is so wonderful at this time of the year. With all the fresh activity there are births, warm days with refreshingly cool nights - and the clean-up begins. We now have need of a single helper (only one room available). So please read our profile or give us a call and tell us what you would like to gain from your farm experience, apart from just your visa days. Feel free to just dro...

We (Bood, Riley, Serene and Laura) enjoy living in harmony with nature and each other. This place is a beautiful property high in the hills above Cairns, that borders World Heritage rain forest wilderness on three sides, and enjoys breathtaking views over the Atherton tableland. There are permanent creeks, waterfalls, rock pools (for swimming) and a very pleasant climate, without the high humidity that the coast can experience (in summer). That said, it can get very wet in summer and early autumn; our wet season. Abundant wildlife including tree kangaroos, possums, platypus, cassowary and hundreds of other bird species. The property practices holistic management, organics and permaculture principles. Work is mostly gardening, in the orchard and household duties. Most happy to utilise your unique skills and gifts, where possible. We like to take turns cooking meals, encourage food literacy (from garden to plate), and greater awareness of self-sufficiency. Accommodation for one o...

We’ve recently built a wonderfully energy efficient passive solar house, complete with off-grid solar for all our energy needs, rain water collection for all our water needs, and a worm farm waste management system for natural black and grey water processing. We’ve put a lot of work in to achieve a fossil-fuel-free, all-electric, household, with as small an environmental footprint as possible. We’re also lucky to live in a beautiful rural/coastal area near Inverloch, Victoria, approximately 1 hour 45 minutes south-east of Melbourne. We are close to some of Victoria’s most famous wildlife and wilderness attractions, including the Penguin Parade at Phillip Island, the Koala Conservation Reserve, and hiking and camping at Wilson’s Promontory (not to mention numerous local beaches and fishing spots only 10 minutes away!). With our house complete, we’re now working to progress the landscaping aspects of our project. We’d be very appreciative of a helping hand or two to help complete: a na...

Join us on our 6acre property, 30min inland from beautiful Pambula on the South Coast of NSW! We are after some help maintaining our property. This can involve anything from planting out the vegetable garden, to lawn mowing and cooking. All that's needed is a 'can do' attitude, a willingness to learn and a good sense of humour. Keep in mind that we do have two dogs, two cats and a whole bunch of chickens - so being an animal lover is a bonus! In return we offer accomodation, food and frequent trips in and around the valley to ensure that you get the most out of your stay on the Sapphire Coast. Our area is renowned for its pristine coast line, native animals and plants, and its untouched wilderness. A 1-2 week stay is ideal, with the option of extending. My 21 year old son lives with me part time inbetween bee keeping and studying, and my daughter and her family live on the coast - so there's plenty of family meals and adventures! We have a lot of experience hosting, but haven't for a ...

At our off- grid solar, wood and gravity powered homestead you can live very close to Nature and learn by helping, how to grow your own food in the big, fully caged vegie garden/ orchard and some of how to build a bush cabin (it could be a winning strategy in years to come). We are long term, committed advocates, for climate change action and we've lived with Sustainability and Creating a low "Carbon Footprint" in mind, for 40 yrs now, settling here, (inland of Taree / Port Macquarie) from scratch in 1980, on 680 acres of rocky ridge forest on the wild and steep NW edge of the Bulga Plateau, 500m above sea level (a very beautiful but challenging location)! Watch our YouTube video below, about our community and us, made by the very talented helpxer, Louie Ablett. Three of us live here now, myself 74, David 84 and Sue 64, who started as a WWOOFer and has moved here with the help of a voluntary activity agreement through Centrelink for over 55s'.

We are a fit and active couple in our 70s who have recently bought a home (2021) right by the water on Lamb Island in Moreton Bay, 30km from Brisbane.

We are a family of four living on five picturesque acres in a beautiful valley in the Perth Hills, Western Australia. Our property is home to a large garden with fruit trees, ornamental trees, ponds and garden beds, as well as a small flock of chickens and our two friendly dogs. With two teenage children and busy family lives, we're looking to welcome couples who would enjoy helping us care for our property while experiencing Australian family life. We especially value cultural exchange and enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds. While we strongly prefer couples, we may also consider singles who are a great fit. We also own a rural property in nearby Jarrahdale, so some tasks may take place there. Both properties are managed using biodynamic principles, and we have increasingly been incorporating permaculture practices into our land management. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who share these values or who are keen to learn more about regenerative agricu...

We live in the inner west suburb of Petersham in Sydney, close to public transport, cafes, restaurants, shops, cinemas etc. We have hosted many HelpXers over the years and enjoy meeting travellers from around the world. We also enjoy the help with cleaning, dog walking, sorting, painting & gardening etc. We offer all meals, a queen bedroom and shared bathrooms for 20 hours work a week (each person), which can be done flexibly. And it’s fine if you want to work less hours & organise your own food. If you’re heading north, we have a place 20 minutes north-west of Taree where we’d like help with cleaning, painting, gardening etc but you’d need a car to get there. We are a retired couple living with Alex, our 21-year old son, and Alfie the labradoodle who has recently gone blind.

NON SMOKERS ONLY! I am in LAUNCESTON TASMANIA. I (Yvonne) have a house in West Launceston, it is not a farm, it is a friendly house in a quiet Launceston suburb! I can accommodate one or two FEMALE helpers (Due to the religious Haram restrictions of one of our residents I can't accommodate male helpers) for about a week or so.... AFTER Sunday 1st November 2026. Minimum stay three nights. Please inquire about available dates. Accommodation (for a single or two females) is in a private room with a double-bed. (Pictured). I can also add a single camp-bed in this room if helpers are two women who don't share a bed. I have been unwell, have poor eyesight, am on a restricted diet and am often busy doing volunteer community work, so I find it too difficult to have to cook meals and supply food. I can only offer an arrangement where you do two hours work per day for just accommodation, plus you supply your own food, cook your own meals and clean up after yourself. If this sounds like somet...

One is our home where we all eat together and the other one is the Wellbeing. You would stay in the dormitory in the well-being building. It has 2 rooms with bunk beds in each and WIFI.

We are primary producers in the eliglible postcode(4854) for 88 day sign off for the 2nd and 3rd year visa. During October we would particularly love to host one or 2 people to help out around the garden, plant nursery and farm/orchard....Gardening, carpentry, welding(I'd love to get some shooting targets welded up ) or physical labour skills are particularly helpful...Conversational English make the stay more enjoyable for us all... We operate a small husband and wife online plant nursery and in our free time we enjoy taking a wwoofer or 2 out on regular boating trips catching barramundi and reef fish, crocodile spotting, fishing and exploring the islands, snorkeling around the Great Barrier Reef and Whale (June to Oct) and Dolphin spotting, ... so we would prefer folks that have an interest in boating/fishing and happy to tie their own fishing knots and set the anchor and dont get sea-sick....The more enthusiastic you are to help preparing the boats and cleaning up after the trip...

You will enjoy magical views of the ocean and mountain and will wake to the sounds of the wild birds that flock to our food and water bowls. We are regularly visited by possums, wallaby's and various other wildlife. If you're lucky you may even see a Tasmanian Devil. We aspire to a sustainable way of living and adore our large established organic garden, which we are needing help with maintaining. We ask helpers to provide a minimum of 4.5 hrs of work each day for 5 days with two full days off. If you would like a day off after working a few days we ask you to make up the hours on other days.

VISA UPDATE: Due to recent and planned immigration changes we have taken the precaution of engaging with an Immigration lawyer to ensure all of farm's visa paperwork is verified and formally documented for the protection of our amazing HelpX volunteers. So we can now claim with certainty that your days spent here are FULLY COMPLIANT for 2nd & 3rd years' visas, postcode 2469, under "natural disaster" provisions (bushfire, flood and cyclone). Spring is here and warm days mean the start of growth. Vegetables are growing fruit trees are full of blossom, everything is waking up from a cold winter sleep. Nature is so wonderful at this time of the year. With all the fresh activity there are births, warm days with refreshingly cool nights - and the clean-up begins. We now have need of a single helper (only one room available). So please read our profile or give us a call and tell us what you would like to gain from your farm experience, apart from just your visa days. Feel free to just dro...

We (Bood, Riley, Serene and Laura) enjoy living in harmony with nature and each other. This place is a beautiful property high in the hills above Cairns, that borders World Heritage rain forest wilderness on three sides, and enjoys breathtaking views over the Atherton tableland. There are permanent creeks, waterfalls, rock pools (for swimming) and a very pleasant climate, without the high humidity that the coast can experience (in summer). That said, it can get very wet in summer and early autumn; our wet season. Abundant wildlife including tree kangaroos, possums, platypus, cassowary and hundreds of other bird species. The property practices holistic management, organics and permaculture principles. Work is mostly gardening, in the orchard and household duties. Most happy to utilise your unique skills and gifts, where possible. We like to take turns cooking meals, encourage food literacy (from garden to plate), and greater awareness of self-sufficiency. Accommodation for one o...

We’ve recently built a wonderfully energy efficient passive solar house, complete with off-grid solar for all our energy needs, rain water collection for all our water needs, and a worm farm waste management system for natural black and grey water processing. We’ve put a lot of work in to achieve a fossil-fuel-free, all-electric, household, with as small an environmental footprint as possible. We’re also lucky to live in a beautiful rural/coastal area near Inverloch, Victoria, approximately 1 hour 45 minutes south-east of Melbourne. We are close to some of Victoria’s most famous wildlife and wilderness attractions, including the Penguin Parade at Phillip Island, the Koala Conservation Reserve, and hiking and camping at Wilson’s Promontory (not to mention numerous local beaches and fishing spots only 10 minutes away!). With our house complete, we’re now working to progress the landscaping aspects of our project. We’d be very appreciative of a helping hand or two to help complete: a na...

Our Apple Farm on beautiful Bruny Island is the Island's last traditional Apple Farm, established more than 100 years ago. It contains 50 hectares of pasture, bush and orchards with 800 old grown and 400 newly planted apple 🍎 trees of various varieties, plus some cherry 🍒, plum, hazelnut and apricot 🍑 trees, and blueberries 🫐, currants, raspberries and more.

Join us on our 6acre property, 30min inland from beautiful Pambula on the South Coast of NSW! We are after some help maintaining our property. This can involve anything from planting out the vegetable garden, to lawn mowing and cooking. All that's needed is a 'can do' attitude, a willingness to learn and a good sense of humour. Keep in mind that we do have two dogs, two cats and a whole bunch of chickens - so being an animal lover is a bonus! In return we offer accomodation, food and frequent trips in and around the valley to ensure that you get the most out of your stay on the Sapphire Coast. Our area is renowned for its pristine coast line, native animals and plants, and its untouched wilderness. A 1-2 week stay is ideal, with the option of extending. My 21 year old son lives with me part time inbetween bee keeping and studying, and my daughter and her family live on the coast - so there's plenty of family meals and adventures! We have a lot of experience hosting, but haven't for a ...

At our off- grid solar, wood and gravity powered homestead you can live very close to Nature and learn by helping, how to grow your own food in the big, fully caged vegie garden/ orchard and some of how to build a bush cabin (it could be a winning strategy in years to come). We are long term, committed advocates, for climate change action and we've lived with Sustainability and Creating a low "Carbon Footprint" in mind, for 40 yrs now, settling here, (inland of Taree / Port Macquarie) from scratch in 1980, on 680 acres of rocky ridge forest on the wild and steep NW edge of the Bulga Plateau, 500m above sea level (a very beautiful but challenging location)! Watch our YouTube video below, about our community and us, made by the very talented helpxer, Louie Ablett. Three of us live here now, myself 74, David 84 and Sue 64, who started as a WWOOFer and has moved here with the help of a voluntary activity agreement through Centrelink for over 55s'. Sue came in September 2019 , lost th...

We are a fit and active couple in our 70s who have recently bought a home (2021) right by the water on Lamb Island in Moreton Bay, 30km from Brisbane. It has great views over the bay and has good access to fishing, crabbing, safe swimming and boating. There is a fast and regular ferry to the mainland that takes 20 minutes. There are also several other islands nearby that can be explored including North Stradbroke Island that has wonderful beaches and walks and lots of wildlife including koalas, kangaroos, turtles and dolphin and - from June to October - humpback whales. Over the next two years we will renovate and paint the home, install new kitchen and two bathrooms. Graham has some woodworking skill but needs help during that time with various tasks and we are willing to give you a comfortable bed, good food and company and access to bathroom and washing machine in exchange for 4 hours help per day, 5 days per week. Our preference is for a single person or couple who have some skil...
