Volunteer

Volunteers are a vital part of the work we do to support vulnerable communities. We are helped by over 280 volunteers across the organisation, some of whom have been with us for decades.

We are currenly recruiting for volunteer roles in a number of our programs, including mentors for young people and carers for children. Downloading the vacancies listed below will provide further information on the help we're looking for, the kinds of skills you'll need and how to go about applying.

Please note, an up-to-date Working With Children check and police check is required for all volunteers before they can commence working with us.
