Voluntary Work At Cairns Tropical Zoo

Volunteers are an important part of the team, and we welcome their involvement and enthusiasm.

People volunteer for many different reasons: work experience for school or uni, to learn what it’s like to be a zoo keeper, to gain experience to further their careers, or just for the personal satisfaction of their efforts.

There are many benefits to volunteer work. It’s a great way to show potential employers that you are hard-working, dedicated to giving back to the community, and to make a contribution. You will also learn more about the animals themselves. On top of all these reasons, it’s a fun and a rewarding way to spend your free time.

If you are 15 years of age or over, enthusiastic, dependable, friendly, out-going, interested in animals, and you enjoy working outdoors, you may be just what we are looking for.

Please note that all volunteer work is unpaid.
