Get hands on in nature and plan a team-building day with a lasting impact
Our ranger-led team volunteering days offer your team the opportunity to get involved in on-ground work in a park or reserve.
Whether its habitat restoration, helping to protect our coastlines, conserve our unique biodiversity, or support revegetation of native plants - we have a range of different opportunities at parks and reserves across the state to suit your team.
Why volunteer with Parks Victoria
To conserve and protect our natural environments
Parks Victoria oversees more than 3000 parks and reserves. Guided by our Rangers, your team will contribute to carefully planned conservation activities aligned to state-wide biodiversity priorities – ensuring your efforts support the big picture and have lasting impacts.
For stronger teams and improved wellbeing
Hands-on volunteering in Victoria’s most iconic natural places gives teams the chance to reset, reconnect and build stronger working relationships – supporting wellbeing, morale and purpose beyond the workplace.
For clear outcomes you can report on
Receive a concise Impact Summary outlining your team’s contribution, supporting Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), sustainability and annual reporting with measurable outcomes.
What to expect during your booking
Corporate volunteering days are immersive, nature-based experiences designed to deliver tangible environmental impact.
Sessions generally run in the morning for approximately 4.5 to 5 hours (for example, 9 am to 2 pm). As activities are seasonal and site-specific, your final itinerary and start times will be confirmed when our local park ranger reaches out to you.
Your session begins with a ranger-led induction and safety briefing, where you will receive expert technical instruction on the conservation tasks for the day. Following this guidance, your team will be empowered to carry out the activity using the professional tools and materials provided.
The fee for a corporate volunteering day is $1500 which is fully tax deductible. This covers ranger coordination, tools, materials, insurance and an Impact Scorecard for your team. Please note that the $1500 fee applies for shorter or half-day sessions as well.

-
What happens if we need to cancel or there is extreme weather?
Safety is our priority. The Park team will notify you as soon as possible of any postponement and we will work with you to reschedule your day at no extra cost.
To ensure your event has the dedicated team and materials it deserves, we finalise all logistics and staffing 10 days in advance. As these resources are committed to you from that point on, we are unable to offer refunds within that 10-day window. If a cancellation is necessary within 10 days, we will work closely with you to explore a reschedule or alternative solution, though this cannot be guaranteed. We truly appreciate your support in helping us maintain the high quality of our events.

Is catering included?To keep our programs as accessible as possible, catering is not included in the standard fee.
