Join the Bribie Island Butterfly House Family!

If you like working with nature you are going to love the Bribie Island Butterfly House!

You have the opportunity to write and compile the Bribie Island Butterfly House newsletter!

This is currently a bi-monthly newsletter, with Stop Press articles now and then. You will get ideas for stories by visiting the Butterfly House regularly (monthly) to pick up the vibe, catch up on happenings and take photos.

Living reasonably locally is required.

Experience is helpful. Some training provided.

In the 18 months since we opened on beautiful Bribie Island, over 25,000 people have enjoyed visiting our beautiful butterflies and learning about the amazing butterfly cycle and ‘metamorphosis’!

We’ve hosted everyone from babes in prams to our wheelie-walker senior citizens, from day care centres, vacation care and school groups, to families of the incurably ill and folk with disabilities, plus coach loads of members from clubs such as Probus, Rotary, craft groups, scouts, retirement villages, church groups, deaf folk, camera clubs and so many more.

It appears that everyone loves butterflies! They certainly are a wonderful creation. Our attractive gardens, soft music and water features add to the ambience.

The bonus is that 100% of our surplus goes to help less fortunate people, as we are 100% run by volunteers. Come along and you can join the Bribie Island Butterfly House family. We hope to see you soon!

We also need Butterfly Food Collectors, Social Media practitioners and ‘Flight Attendants’, who conduct our tours of the Butterfly House!

Working inside we have over 15 Laboratory Technicians and we still need five more! We also need a Cleaner and Nursery Propagation Gardener.

What will you get working at the Bribie Island Butterfly House?

But most importantly we offer all our volunteers a place in the Bribie Island Butterfly House family!
