Volunteering

Volunteering is one of the truly great institutions of Australian life. It reaches into every corner of our society... emergency services, social welfare, sport, environmental protection and the arts. We all benefit from the contribution of volunteers.

Being a volunteer means... helping others by providing your time and resources. It's also about caring for others, sharing and lending a hand. These are the values we strive for.

If you would like to become a volunteer in your community there are many ways to get involved. You can:

• approach an organisation whose work you admire or find interesting
• contact your local Volunteer Referral Centre or call 1300 654 643
• contact your local council
• use the national volunteer matching website Go Volunteer!
