Work and Development Orders (WDOs)

If you’re struggling to pay a fine or debt owed to Revenue NSW, volunteering with House of Sadaqa may be a way to reduce what you owe.

WDO Application Form

As an approved WDO sponsor, House of Sadaqa allows eligible individuals to complete unpaid volunteer work with us in place of paying their fines. Every hour you volunteer helps pay down your debt through the Work and Development Order (WDO) program, a legal pathway set up by Revenue NSW.

Who is eligible?

You may be eligible to clear unpaid Revenue NSW fines through volunteer work with us under a Work and Development Order (WDO). You do not have to meet every condition. You only need to meet one of six grounds: financial hardship, a mental health condition, an intellectual disability or cognitive impairment, homelessness, a serious drug or alcohol problem, or being under 18. A WDO is an alternative to paying in cash, letting you clear the debt through meaningful community work instead.

What to expect

  • Volunteers generally contribute to our community programs, warehouse assistance, or events

  • All hours are tracked and reported to Revenue NSW

  • You must be reliable and committed to the hours you agree to

  • We’ll guide you through the paperwork to get your WDO approved
