How are volunteers selected?

Scope Global's Volunteer Unit has a staged selection process, which is based on merit and works within the
parameters of the Australian Equal Opportunities Act. Scope Global reserves the right to withdraw a volunteer
assignment at any stage throughout the assignment, selection, or pre-departure preparation process.

Stage 1 - Assignments advertised

Assignments will generally be advertised online for three weeks from the 1st of each month until the 21st at 5:30pm
EST (Canberra time). All applicants are required to complete and submit an online application detailing personal
information, work history, and responding to the selection criteria. It is important to select assignments for which you are
qualified and can demonstrate relevant skills and experience. Similarly, consider the Host Organisation you are applying
for and whether your values align, as well as the location in which the assignment will be based.

+ Stage 2 - Assessment and shortlisting

+ Stage 3 - Psychometric Assessment, Interview and Reference Checks
