Being a Host Organisation provides you with the opportunity to:

• Gain the knowledge and experience of a skilled Australian Volunteer as they work with you to pass on their skills and build the capacity of your staff and organisation
• Strengthen or create links with organisations in Australia
• Raise the profile of your organisation in Australia, Asia, the Pacific, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean
• Be recognised for involvement through the Austraining International Australian Volunteers website and magazine

Host Organisations are required to provide an Australian Volunteer with:

• Appropriate workspace.
• Equipment required to fulfil the assignment outcomes.
• Work related travel expenses.

A Host Organisation will identify:

• A supervisor for the volunteer.
• A counterpart for the volunteer (someone who will work alongside the volunteer).
