Volunteers

Volunteering is a time-honoured tradition in Australian society, where people come together to help build stronger and more cohesive communities. Volunteering with the Migrant Resource Centre North West Region provides volunteers with work experience and new skills that can be helpful for future employment endeavours or just general self-improvement.

We welcome all types of volunteers from any background, and we can offer you the opportunity for personal growth and the opportunity to give back.

Our volunteers offer support in many ways such as:

• Providing administrative support for a busy office environment
• Supporting our projects by getting involved in helping people
• Providing invaluable orientation support for newly arrived refugees to help them settle into their local community
• Assistance with filling in forms and administration tasks

In addition to providing useful insights, volunteering allows you to feel good knowing that you are helping someone in need.

Volunteer positions require a National Police and/or Working with Children Check. This process is free of charge for volunteers. Some of the volunteer positions we have available are for: community events; aged care/support program; Learning Centre service program; form filling and administrative work.
