Australian Volunteers International was established in 1951 and is Australia’s longest running international volunteer organisation.
AVI exists to achieve community-determined development outcomes through the exchange of skills and knowledge by connecting people, organisations and communities, both within Australia and internationally.
Our programs are not “off-the-shelf” voluntourism, they are programs where we know the change is wanted, achievable, impactful and sustainable.
We invest in long-term partnerships with a range of businesses, governments and non-profit organisations that flourish into deep and rewarding cross-sector exchanges.
Human rights are for everyone, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, indigeneity, disability, age, displacement, caste, gender, gender identity, sexuality, sexual orientation, poverty, class or socio-economic status.
