The Australian WWOOF Book provides details about more than
2,300 host
properties throughout Australia. When you buy this book you will receive a 12 month membership of WWOOF Australia, which allows you to visit any of these Australian hosts. You will also receive a small volunteer accident
insurance plan that covers you while you are WWOOFing on a registered Australian WWOOF Host property. Select the host you wish to visit from the book, make contact and arrange a mutually convenient time and period to stay, then turn up, sleeping bag and boots in hand, ready to work!
The WWOOF book includes farms practicing Organic farming. They offer to teach you aspects of Organic Growing, Bio-dynamics or Permaculture. Cultural experience is a valuable additional
benefit for the hosts and for WWOOFers who stay with them. Preview of some of the
host entries in the WWOOF Book
ALL hosts on this list
share a willingness to accommodate visitors for the cultural exchange that can
take place, and offer:
-
the chance to learn
more about life in Australia
-
a wide variety of work experience
-
opportunities to qualify for the Second
Working Holiday Visa

This book costs AUD$65 for a single person. The price includes a small built-in insurance plan. Note the WWOOF insurance policy is very basic (maximum AUD$10,000) and would be unlikely to cover all your medical expenses in the event of an accident. We advise you to ensure that you have adequate cover to suit your needs.
*For
Express post within Australia, or if sent to an address outside Australia, please
add AUD$5 to the price of this book,
(all WWOOF books are sent by overseas express post).
We print a January & July edition of the WWOOF book each year. You choose which book to order, either the one that is most up to date when you arrive, or the current edition even if you arrive when the next edition is in print, so you can contact hosts in advance. Once you join you can e-mail us for an
update list which includes alterations,
deletions and new hosts so you always have up to date information. Find out how to join

WWOOF Hosts SA246 Katja & Paul made the following comments about "WWOOF
Hosting- A Practical Guide", in February 2011:
"Paul has been taking backpackers, then WWOOFers for over 20 years and has
hosted thousands by now. We purchased the Host Guide and feel that many more
hosts would stick with the program and be more successful with it. I thought it
would be great if you could offer the Guide for an additional fee with every
initial membership.*
Despite being quite 'experienced' at this we found it extremely helpful. For
several organizational tips as well as knowing that, no, we are not insane or
nasty. It takes a long time to develop the backbone to make rules and
occasionally send a WWOOFer on their way, which allow you to feel comfortable in
your own home. Having this guide, we believe will really make for a much better
experience for a majority of hosts. In turn, there will be more hosts around
which will benefit the many brilliant WWOOFers out there."
*Note: WWOOF is now offering
WWOOF Hosting- A Practical Guide to all new Hosts for a discounted price of $10.00 if they order it at the same time as they send in their Host Application.
