WWOOF Pty Ltd ~ Willing Workers on Organic Farms

Do you want to experience life in Australia by living and working with families all over the country? Why not try WWOOFing! Willing Workers on Organic Farms is a unique form of farm stay where you exchange your skills and labour for food, board and a bit of the local culture.

WWOOF is an Australia-wide network of host properties where you work between 4 and 6 hours a day in exchange for food and accommodation. There are host properties right across Australia from the rainforests in the north to the deserts of the West. From suburban backyards in Brisbane, to vast cattle stations in outback Northern Territory, you can experience it all with WWOOF.

How about mustering cattle, cruising for crocodiles, bushwalking in the rainforest, building strawbale bungalows, feeding baby kangaroos? By joining WWOOF you have access to over 1,900 host properties throughout Australia.

When you join WWOOF Australia you will be supplied with a WWOOF Book which has the contact details AND a description of each property. The WWOOF Book is your membership book and is not to be given to anyone else. From it you select the host you wish to visit, make contact and arrange a mutually convenient time and period for your stay. Bookings can be made by phone, letter or email direct to the farm you choose.

Our hosts are mainly living a simple sustainable lifestyle. Many are permaculture enthusiasts, and some use bio-dynamic growing methods. Some of our hosts live in alternative co-operative communities, and a few are communal living.

The work you will do for these hosts will be varied, and can include anything the host needs doing and you are capable of! It may be gardening, weeding, planting trees, environmental works, feeding animals, the work is as varied as the farms themselves. The minimum stay on a WWOOF farm is 2 nights the maximum stay is by mutual agreement between you and your host.
