Health, Safety & Security

Our top priority is the health, safety, and well-being of people living in the communities we serve, volunteers and staff. On this page, you'll find information on our Code of Conduct, information on safety both on site and on base, physical and mental health information along with our health insurance guidelines.

If you suffer from an underlying health condition we strongly recommend you consult a medical professional before committing to join. You should consider the impact of living and working in challenging conditions for a prolonged duration of time. It's important to note, outside of emergencies, access to medical assistance may be limited while you are on the program. 

For advice on vaccinations, volunteers should consult with a travel medical professional for advice based on their individual needs.  For more information on health and vaccinations, please review the Health and Wellbeing section.
