ABOUT VOLUNTEERING

Finding a volunteer position can take some time. Agencies must consider first the needs of their clients, then how those needs can best be met.

Most agencies require prospective volunteers to complete an application and attend an interview. The agency will ask about your reasons for volunteering – what you want to get out of it, about your skills and interests, and when and how often you can volunteer. Agency staff will then seek a job match that benefits their clients, the agency and the volunteer.

NOTE THAT

You can undertake voluntary work only if you are an Australian Resident or your visa entitles you to do paid work in Australia;

Depending on the nature of the service, you may be required to agree to a Police and/or working with Children check;

Some agencies require completion of a training course before a volunteer can begin work. Courses may be conducted on a limited number of occasions each year;

Agencies may have a waiting list for placement in some positions.
