OzQuest: Young Australian Adventures

‘Inspiring young people to discover and develop their potential through challenging expeditions involving adventure, science and volunteering’

What is OzQuest?
OzQuest: Young Australian Adventures is a non-profit program run by The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, Victoria. It operates 4 - 8 week expeditions overseas that combine community work with adventure travel. OzQuest expeditions take participants away from the main tourist trail, enabling you to work and live with the local people and come to a greater appreciation of the culture and customs. You will leave the country knowing you have made a lasting difference to the lives of the local community and return home feeling motivated, adventurous, inspired and humbled by what you have experienced.

How do the expeditions work?
OzQuest partners with other non-profit organisations to assist them in their ongoing commitment to local communities and environments. This way, you are assured that your help is of the most value to the communities you visit. Additionally, part of every expedition fee contributes directly to the organisations and projects OzQuest partners with. The philosophy strongly endorses forgoing Western ‘norms’ in favour of local culture, allowing participants to fully experience another way of life. Most accommodation on OzQuest expeditions is in guesthouses, dorms or tents. You are also encouraged to eat local food. It would be hypocritical of OzQuest to help people in poverty then return to fivestar accommodation at the end of the day! Each expedition is divided into a number of ‘phases’, where participants are able to contribute to 2 or 3 community projects as well as take part in the adventure phase.
