Australian League of Immigration Volunteers

The main objective of the Australian League of Immigration Volunteers (ALIV) is to improve the lives of children and families with Bridging Visas and those living in Community Detention; as well as adults and children living inside Immigration Detention Centres.

ALIV programs provide essential recreational and developmental opportunities for children, families and adults which ease loneliness and isolation and improve physical and mental health.

ALIV aims to increase the number of smiles on the faces of children and adults by promoting fun, laughter and relaxation. We are committed to empowering individuals and families and building more cohesive, tolerant communities.

ALIV Kids and Family Programs facilitated in the community are administered by volunteers who organise activities including excursions, camps, youth programs and general support.

ALIV Adult Programs inside Immigration Detention Centres are managed by volunteers who aim to advance the skills-base of immigration detainees and improve their enjoyment and quality of life.

We offer excellent volunteer management experience and training. Learning how to manage aspects of a charity is a great skill you can use in any area of your life and in paid or humanitarian work. ALIV provides the opportunity for young people to help grow the organisation to grow and develop themselves.

ALIV is non-religious and non-political. We believe in working with everyone to do what is needed to be done, including the Australian Government.

We are not interested in being antagonistic to other organisations, the Government or anyone else. We do understand the media plays a very important role in the community but unfortunately there isn’t any antagonistic information in this organisation or website.
