About

Global People Limited is an Australian organization that links Australian professionals (as volunteers) to governments, universities, hospitals, NGOs, development projects and community groups worldwide. Their mission is to assist nation building and enhance international cross-cultural understanding by matching skilled Australians to strategic development opportunities in other countries.

Tips for Applicants

Given that GPL primarily works with volunteer professionals rather than grant-seeking organizations, direct funding applications are not applicable. Instead, interested Australian professionals should demonstrate relevant expertise, flexibility for international placement, and commitment to cross-cultural development work. Organizations seeking volunteer personnel can approach GPL with clearly defined roles and placement opportunities.

Giving Philosophy

GPL focuses on deploying skilled Australian professionals (medical workers, engineers, educators, IT specialists, etc.) to developing countries for strategic development roles. They value cross-cultural understanding, nation building, and capacity development. They assess applicants for suitability, provide training, salary supplementation, and administrative support to enable Australians to serve in strategic positions abroad.
