Supporting young Australians to explore their full potential

World Vision Australia is an Open Award Centre for the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award in New South Wales. We can help your students to complete their Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards if they undertake the 40 Hour Famine as part of their Award journey.  

Today, an estimated 50 million people across 45 countries are on the brink of famine. More than half of them are children. Participants can raise awareness and much-needed funds through the 40 Hour Famine, while realising their potential to lead and make a meaningful difference in vulnerable children’s lives.  

Mentoring participants through all sections of the Award 

If your school or organisation is not an Award Centre, students can register directly with us to complete their Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. We will help them generate ideas, map their journey and make up their hours. 

Assessing one section of the Award 

If your school or organisation is already an Award Centre, we can provide support as an assessor. We will assess participants’ involvement in World Vision advocacy and fundraising activities.
