Gold Residential Project

Challenge the way you see yourself and the world with the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award.

About Gold Residential Projects

The Gold Residential Project offers a Registered User a unique experience that will broaden their horizons, challenge their outlook, and extend their comfort zone.

The Gold Residential Project involves working towards a common goal with people who are not their usual companions. This purposeful experience also takes place away from home, most often in an unfamiliar environment. It is hoped that the Gold Residential Project rewards Gold Level registrants with a sense of personal achievement, enhanced social connection with new and interesting people and a truly life-changing experience.

Office of Sport Gold Residential Projects

Throughout the year, some of the Office of Sport, Sport and Recreation Centres offer Gold Residential Programs. Each program has a theme that is unique to their location and gives back to their local community. Whether it be conservation work, bush regeneration or study camp, there is something that helps the Gold Level registrant meet their Gold Residential Project goals.
