A volunteer visits your garden, balcony, or courtyard and helps turn it into habitat, often with free native plants included. Runs through local councils in VIC, NSW, and TAS, with more councils adding it each year. Search "Gardens for Wildlife" plus your council area. No single national link, since this runs council by council.

A free, national, entirely self-directed program run by the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife, no council visit or sign-up needed. Practical, specific tips (an old paddling pool makes a good frog pond, terracotta pipes give lizards somewhere to shelter, leaving fallen leaves as mulch instead of raking them away). Works for any size yard, a courtyard counts. Visit https://backyardbuddies.org.au
