Who can volunteer

Anyone over 12 years of age can apply to become a volunteer with Villa Maria. We also welcome volunteering families, volunteering pets, corporate volunteering partners and people with mutual obligation requirements.
 

How do I apply?

The initial screening process may take several weeks and includes filling out a detailed application form, attending an information session, reference checks and a police record check. This detailed application process enables us to choose the right people for our volunteering roles and gives you a chance to discover if Villa Maria is the right place for you.

Note: for volunteer roles that involve working with children you will require the national Working With Children (WWC) check. This is free for volunteers and can be applied for through Australia Post outlets. You will need to submit a passport photograph with the WWC application.
