Thank you for considering becoming a member or volunteering. We exist to offer life changing opportunities to children, youth and adults with disabilities and those at a disadvantage to drive a more optimistic outlook for personal growth and improved life outcomes. We need you to help us create optimism where it does not exist. We need your passion, enthusiasm and skills to help us achieve these outcomes.
Volunteers are also required to become a member and cannot participate in any SWD programs until the membership process has been completed. Membership is $55.00 (incl GST) per year and covers insurance, training and administrative costs.
Once the membership payment has been processed and your Working with Children
Check documentation reviewed, your application will be forwarded to the next
monthly Board Meeting for approval and you will then be notified as to the
status.
Volunteers will receive an orientation session in the state
where they live that introduces SWD and the volunteer roles and projects
available.
To ensure the best care is taken to protect the participants in our programs it is compulsory for all volunteers to undergo a working with children check.
A working with children check is an easy and free two-step process. You can apply online by select the relevant link below. You will need to obtain a working with children check for each state you would like to volunteer in.
