Bushfire Volunteer Response and Recovery

We are currently experiencing an unprecedented level of fire activity across Victoria. The passion and willingness of the community to reach out and help is remarkable, and volunteers will play a very important role in the bushfire recovery efforts once the immediate fire danger has passed.

A variety of bushfire recovery volunteer opportunities will soon be available via Citizen Science programs monitoring wildlife, clearing tracks, repairing fences and restoring habitats.

To become a volunteer, register with ParkConnect and then create your volunteer profile. Select ‘bushfire recovery’ as your interest.

We will continue to contact all registered volunteers with up-to-date opportunities as they become available. Thank you for your enthusiasm.

Our current team of field-based volunteer emergency responders have been trained extensively for these specific roles and the dangerous conditions. Do not attempt to approach or enter any parks that are experiencing or have experienced any fire activity. See the latest information on fire affected parks.

Vision

Our Campground Host program is the perfect opportunity to volunteer while experiencing the best of Victoria's national, state parks/reserves during peak visitation times. Having already welcomed over 3500 volunteers through our program over the past 18 years we hope to welcome you. You must be 18+ to apply by registering below for any vacancies we have which are only advertised for summer and Easter Victorian school holiday periods. Your camping site is provided free along with full training and uniform, all that is required from you is a few hours per day to provide help and advice to fellow campers and visitors. We encourage you to join our Campground Host volunteer program as you will also be working with our Rangers and park staff but most importantly you will have plenty of free time to experience and explore the parks yourself.

Goal

Our goal is to challenge you to experience a new park location or a familiar one while volunteering as a Campground Host with us. Feel the sand under your feet, climb that mountain you have always thought about, brush past the soft ferns, feel the sun in open spaces or just open that book and read peacefully beside that waterfall. The best part about this program is you can do it all!. Camping equipment, cooking utensils, food, water and transport to sites is not supplied.
