Detalhes

Looking to complete your 88 days of specified work for a Second or Third Year Working Holiday Visa in Australia? Join Chenrezig Institute, a peaceful Buddhist retreat and community nestled in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland (postcode 4554) just 1.5 hours north of Brisbane.

Our region has been officially designated as affected by bushfires and floods, meaning that volunteering with us qualifies as specified work in a disaster-affected area under visa subclasses 417 and 462.

Volunteers at Chenrezig contribute to meaningful recovery and regeneration work while living in a values-based environment grounded in compassion, mindfulness, and community connection. You don’t need to be Buddhist to join. We welcome open-hearted people from all walks of life.

In exchange for your support, we offer shared accommodation, nourishing vegetarian meals, a natural forest setting, and the chance to be part of a community making a positive impact. This is more than just visa work; it’s a way to give back, slow down, and reconnect with what matters.


Atividades & Turnos

Volunteer contributions include:

• Bushfire and flood recovery
• Land care and native regeneration
• Permaculture gardening and landscape design
• Grounds maintenance (paths, weeding, brush clearing)
• Admin and organisational recovery
• Community support for those impacted by natural disasters

Shifts & Expectations:

Volunteers will typically commit to around 30 hours per week, usually spread across five days with six-hour shifts. Longer stays with lighter schedules (20–25 hours per week) may also be arranged. Some weekend work may be involved, and regular days off are provided for rest and reflection. Volunteers are expected to engage with a collaborative spirit and respect the peaceful, values-based environment. You’ll play an active role in our bushfire and flood recovery efforts while learning practical skills and experiencing daily life in one of Australia’s oldest Buddhist centres. There are also opportunities to work with Tibetan traditional art and holy objects, and to take time for yoga, meditation, and self-reflection in our serene rainforest setting.


Regras

Code of Conduct: no killing, no stealing, no lying, no sexual misconduct, no intoxicants including smoking. Respect for the monastic community of Buddhist Monks and Nuns in the Mahayana Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
