The Experience

I am renovating my house and need help with sanding walls, moving furniture, gardening, and mowing. 12 hours/week (3 hours/day). Non-smokers and couples welcome. As I work full-time, please be home before 9 PM with lights off by 9 PM (2 late nights allowed). Safe and quiet neighbourhood. It's close to Brisbane CBD. In exchange, I provide a private room with a queen bed. Looking forward to working together!

It couldn't have been a better first volunteering experience. From the beginning, the adaptation was smooth, both in daily life and in the activities. Fiona is very easy-going, and we had a really positive and comfortable living experience. The tasks are easy to learn, with clear instructions, and she provides all the necessary support and materials. She is also very respectful of the agreed working hours, and the work fits well within them. I truly enjoyed this experience and was very happy that Fiona was the first person I met when I arrived in Australia. Thank you so much!

This has been my favorite experience so far. The location and room for volunteers is great. Fiona is an amazing host that makes you feel very welcomed and is great at teaching new skills that you will use during this work-exchange and will definitely use later on.

Volunteering with Fiona was wonderful! Her home is peaceful, welcoming, and close to the home city, making it easy to explore. She clearly explained the tasks, and the weekly hours were very manageable so it was easy to balance work and free time. She's so encouraging, and we had great conversations. I felt the home, respected, and supported the whole time. Truly grateful for her kindness and hospitality! I'd highly recommend volunteer with her!
