Can I volunteer in Australia while visiting on an eVisitor or eVisa?

Visitors holding an eVisitor or eVisa for Australia can engage in certain volunteer activities during their stay. However, there are some essential considerations to keep in mind:

e-Visa Restriction: While volunteering is allowed on these visas, it should be strictly non-paid and charitable. You can contribute your time and skills to community work or not-for-profit organizations without receiving any financial compensation. Learn more about the Australia ETA requirements.
e-Visa Validity: The volunteering activities should align with the duration of your stay as per the visa conditions. Typically, the Australian e-visa allows you to stay within 90 days per visit during the 1 year (counting from the moment you obtain an e-visa). Engaging in volunteer work beyond the authorized stay could lead to visa violations.
Consultation: If uncertain about the nature of volunteering allowed on your specific visa or if planning to engage in more formal or extended volunteering activities, consulting the Australia Immigration Services is advisable.

Volunteering can be a rewarding experience while visiting Australia, allowing you to contribute positively to the community. By understanding and adhering to the visa conditions, you can ensure a fulfilling and compliant volunteering experience during your stay.
