Brush with Kindness
The Brush with Kindness program mobilises teams of volunteers to conduct landscaping and minor repairs to the exterior of homes of people who may be disadvantaged, disabled or socially isolated. It is a ‘backyard blitz’ style activity where teams between 10-15 can get out of the office and get their hands dirty! This is a great team-building experience for corporate volunteer groups. Find out more here.

Our volunteer program Local Village is a 4-day volunteer trip to the Southern Highlands (Sydney) in New South Wales where any individual can join a team of volunteers on a life-changing adventure to come together to help rebuild communities who were affected by the 2019 Bushfires.

Due to the tough terrain and unforgiving Aussie weather, one neighbour even placed a friendly bet that they ‘wouldn’t […]
Dierdre and Dennis
Dierdre is leaning slightly on her walking stick, warm coat and bobble hat a shield against the sunny but still mountain-cold afternoon. “Beautiful,” she says appreciatively as she looks at the shiny new wire mesh boundary fence just being given its finishing touches by two Habitat for Humanity Australia volunteers who have worked on it […]
