What volunteering looks like in Canberra
Small enough to stay somewhere
The same organisations come up often, which makes it easier to find something you keep doing.
Land care across the territory
Nature reserve work and tree planting are well established, alongside community sport and refugee and migrant support services.
Emergency roles need training first
Rural fire and emergency service volunteering is more visible here, though those roles usually involve training before you can start.
New to this?
The sector is small enough that a single shift often leads to an introduction somewhere else. Your hours are tracked as you go, so you have a record of what you have done.
