Lattitude Global Volunteering

Lattitude Global Volunteering is a charity specialising in volunteering for 17-25 year olds. We have a global vision and aim to provide unique experiences of voluntary work placements for young people from around the world.

Lattitude is an organisation with attitude. We are passionately concerned about the world and the issues facing us all. Above all, we are concerned about having a positive impact on the communities in which we volunteer.

Our volunteers are not tourists. They want to have an impact and make a real contribution to society. They want to learn about the world in which they live. Lattitude Global Volunteering offers young people the opportunity to achieve this, while also providing the chance to experience excitement, travel, independence and friendship.

Lattitude is currently accepting applications from 17 to 25 year olds for placements in 2011.
Submit your application by Friday 14 May 2010 for the best chance to secure your first preference.

Information Nights are a great way to learn more about the international volunteering placements we have available and how we can support you every step of the way:

    Ernst & Young Cadet Program 2011

    Why wait until you've graduated to work at a firm like Ernst & Young?

    As a cadet, you'll combine your university studies with real work, and gain invaluable experience that could see you return to us full time at a higher level than other graduates once you've completed your studies.

    Melbourne Cadet Program and Sydney Cadet Program
    You’ll work full time with us for two years while studying part time, then study full time until you've completed your degree and you may work with us during your university holidays. That means by the time you've graduated you'll have had the opportunity to build your skills, cement your networks and gain experience with a wide variety of clients.

    You could work with large and small clients in Assurance, Tax, Transactions or Advisory services. We'll invest in your development, offering you learning, coaching and experiences that will enable you to put into practice what you're studying.

    You’ll receive a text book allowance, time off for study and the support of your peers and experienced staff.

    If you perform well during your first two years as a Cadet - both at work and at university - you'll be eligible to apply for financial assistance from the firm in the form of a Cadet Grant when you return to university full time. The Cadet Grant helps towards the costs of your full-time study, and might alleviate the need for you to have a part-time job. Terms and conditions apply to the Cadet Grant.

    Apply when you're in year 12 or in your first year of university if you’re completing a single degree in Business or Commerce with an accounting major. You need to be an Australian or New Zealand citizen, an Australian permanent resident. International students are not eligible for the Cadet Program.

    Entries this year covered subjects including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Anzacs, First World War submariners, clergy and war correspondents.

    Youth Allowance

    The Minister for Education, Julia Gillard, has welcomed the agreement of the Opposition to secure the passage of the Youth Allowance bill in the Senate which will see more than 150 000 students across Australia start to receive new scholarships from April 1.

    More than 100 000 students will be better off under the changes by receiving more Youth Allowance or Youth Allowance for the first time. New parental income test arrangements will come into force from July 1.

    The changes will make a real difference for families trying to send their kids to university and will help ease the cost of living pressures that university can place on students and their families.

    Ms Gillard said Senator Xenophon and the Australian Greens had worked hard with the Government to make changes to the bill to make it fairer for students who took a gap year in 2009. She thanked them for their professionalism in dealing with these changes which will also include a $20 million fund for regional students and a review of the changes to be held in 2012.

    The Liberal and National Parties agreed to the bill after the Government made changes that will mean students who live away from our major cities and regional centres who have to move will be eligible under the existing independence test.

    The existing test will be restricted to those who leave home to study, whose parents earn less than $150 000 a year and who live in "Very Remote", "Remote" or "Outer Regional" areas as defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

    In keeping with the Government’s commitment to responsible economic management, the amendments will be paid for by a reduction in annual start-up scholarships to $2 128 once the scheme is fully up and running. This will keep the changes cost neutral.

    Key elements of the changes include:

    •All students who receive Youth Allowance will receive a $2 128 start up scholarship every year, indexed for inflation. ($1 300 in 2010)
    •Students who live in very remote, remote and outer regional areas, who have to move away from home to study and whose parents earn less than $150 000 a year will be eligible for the existing independence test criteria.
    •The parental income test will be raised so that families with two children studying away from home can earn more than $140 000 before their allowance is cut completely.
    •Students who choose to move to study may be eligible for an additional relocation scholarship, worth $4 000, in the first year of study and $1 000 each subsequent year.
    •From 1 July 2012, students will be able to earn $400 a fortnight (up from $236) without having their payments reduced.
    •The age of independence will reduce progressively from 25 years to 22 years by 2012, which will see an estimated 7 600 new recipients of the independent rate of allowance.
