How to apply
To volunteer for the City, you will need to complete a Volunteer Expression of Interest Form (EOI) which includes basic information such as your interests, experience and availability.
Once we receive your EOI, you will be invited to a Meet and Greet with a Volunteer Supervisor and a Community Development Officer (Volunteers). During the meeting, you will be asked to complete and sign additional documents included in the Volunteer Handbook, agree to a National Volunteer Police Check (the City pays for this check on your behalf) and discuss potential roles in detail.
If you need a bit more assistance, please let us know how we can help and feel free to invite a friend or a family member to the meeting.
