Australia
Zoo was pleased to join in the celebration for International Volunteers
Day by hosting a recognition breakfast for the hundreds of volunteers
from the Sunshine Coast information centres.
Approx 200 Sunshine
Coast Tourism Centre volunteers enjoyed exclusive early entry into
Australia Zoo for a scrumptious buffet breakfast, which was a reward
for the valuable contribution they have made for tourism in and around
the Sunshine Coast. To showcase how important this contribution is, the
CEO of Tourism Sunshine Coast, Mr John Fitzgerald attended the
breakfast to personally thank the volunteers first hand for the massive
work they do for the Sunshine Coast Tourism Industry. Australia
Zoo supports the volunteers and this is evident by the zoo having over
550 paid staff and over 100 volunteers. They assist with numerous key
zoo aspects from customer service to animal care & rehabilitation.
Australia Zoo's Business Development Manager, Wayne Poole addressed the
volunteers to thank them & let them know that Australia Zoo
wouldn't be where we are today without the valuable contribution of
it’s internal and external volunteer partners.
