What volunteering looks like in Melbourne
Food and community first
Food rescue and meal services run year round, alongside community gardens, neighbourhood houses and op shops.
Festivals take volunteers in bursts
The arts and events calendar absorbs a lot of people for short stretches, which suits you if a weekly shift does not.
Land care towards the ranges
Revegetation and wildlife rescue work sit on the city’s outer eastern edge.
New to this?
Many roles here are one-off or flexible rather than ongoing, so trying a single shift first is a normal way in. Your hours are tracked as you go, so you have a record of what you have done.
