Mercy Ships are almost entirely staffed by volunteers from over 40 nations, who raise their own finances to become crew members, paying towards the cost of living on board by way of monthly crew fees. It’s because of these charges that Mercy Ships is able to provide medical care and development assistance at an economic cost to the organisation and free of charge to recipients.
Short-Term Opportunities
Every year thousands of people volunteer their time with Mercy Ships on a short-term basis. Many of them return time and time again. Placements range from two weeks to one year on ships, land bases and support offices overseas. For more information or to request a volunteer pack, please contact us on 07 5437 2992, or email
Career Opportunities
To serve in a career capacity with Mercy Ships, (two years or longer) you must first successfully complete a 3 or 5 month training program. At this time, nearly all career positions are self-funded.
