MAKE EVERY VISIT MEMORABLE

As a Park Volunteer at National Trust Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, your role is simple but powerful: helping our guests have a great day.

You are the friendly, approachable face guests turn to for guidance and connection. From greeting visitors of all nationalities to answering questions about our animals and attractions, assisting guests to find shows and facilities, and helping people make the most of their time at the Sanctuary, you play a direct role in shaping how each visit feels.

This is a highly people-focused role, ideal for those who enjoy engaging with others, being outdoors and contributing to positive experiences guests will remember long after they leave.
