How to join WWOOF AUSTRALIA

The Australian WWOOF Book

The Australian WWOOF Book provides details about more than 1,500 hosts 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. 

The WWOOF book includes nearly 1,300 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 these hosts and for WWOOFers who stay with them.

Cultural exchange is the main reason for visiting the other  non-farm hosts. These are quite diverse, and include nurseries, schools, people running home businesses such as guest houses, publishers and writers.

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 this country
      • a wide variety of work experience
This book costs AUD$55 for a single person, or AUD$65 for any two people travelling together. The price includes a small built-in insurance plan (basic AUD$5 first person, AUD$10 for the second). 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.

*If sent to an address outside Australia please add AUD$5 to the price of this book.

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 amendment list which includes alterations, deletions and new hosts so you always have up to date information.

WWOOF Australia's List of Independent Hosts
