Why volunteer at Oxfam Australia?
At Oxfam Australia, we believe all lives are equal and no one should live in poverty. We are a member of Oxfam International, a global confederation working with partners and local communities in over 70 countries.
Volunteering at Oxfam means you will be part of an organisation that is making a difference. You can learn new skills (or add to the skills you already have), meet like-minded people and contribute to realising a more just and equal world.
The role
Oxfam Australia sees reconciliation with First Peoples as critical to achieving a just world without poverty, and critical for building a decolonial world. In 2025, Oxfam Australia launched our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan. This is the sixth RAP launched by the Oxfam which outlines our commitment to advancing reconciliation and First Nations Justice. The People & Culture team at Oxfam Australia are looking to engage a volunteer to support with prescribed projects relevant to the team and for a motivated individual to utilise their unique skills and experience to help us progress initiatives outlined in this plan.
