How to volunteer
We are always looking for volunteers who are able to commit to regular shifts — however we do appreciate everyone needs a break now and then!
All prospective volunteers are required to complete our volunteer application form and police check as well as attend an informal interview at the House prior to committing to the position.
Please see our current positions available.
Orientation sessions for new volunteers are held quarterly. These can be either a full day session (with breaks for morning tea and lunch with our staff) or two half day sessions depending on volunteer availability over this busy period.
If you wish to enquire about our next volunteer orientation or find out more about how you can volunteer your time, please call Jess on +64 9 303 1365, email or download and fill in our volunteer application form.
