- Volunteers assist with the running of our popular tag-along tours and work closely with the Fraser Dingo Team to help ensure they run smoothly!
- At our private beach house you will ensure that everyone feels welcomed, has a clean and tidy house to relax in and tasty food on their plates!
- A volunteer’s role mainly consists of cleaning, food preparation and customer service so you need to be happy getting stuck into these and other routine tasks.
