Anglicare Volunteers
Be part of the team that makes a difference
We offer a range of volunteering opportunities, from long-term arrangements to short-term or one-off events.
Volunteering with Anglicare
We have over 450 volunteers supporting our services across 30 locations in NSW and the ACT and each one of them makes an invaluable contribution to the work of Anglicare.
This amazing team of volunteers is the reason we’re able to transform the lives of people in times of crisis by delivering programs and services that help families and individuals thrive.
We love giving people the opportunity to give back to the community and there are many ways you can make a difference.
Anglicare also supports volunteers who are seeking opportunities to improve their skills and experience, such as students who are required to gain practical experience as part of their study requirement, or school students who are required to complete a community service placement.

Interview Friends
Interview Friends provide independent and confidential support to children and young people who have been detained by police for interviewing in relation to an offence, and who do not have a parent or other adult who can be present with them. The interview Friend’s role is one of support to ensure the rights of the child are upheld.
It is a rewarding program to be involved in and is highly valued by members of the ACT Police.
Please note this program runs outside of business hours and can involve late nights and/or early mornings.

Thread Together
Our initiative with Thread Together enables us to provide new clothing to people experiencing vulnerability – especially in bushfire affected areas. In the Riverina, we have a Thread Together van which travels to towns across the region and in Moruya we have a shop front. Without volunteers, this vital service would not be possible.

Pantry Appeal
You can help us collect essential food items and gold coin donations for vulnerable families in our community by hosting shopping centres collections throughout the year (especially in the winter months).
Disability Services
Volunteering to support our disability services helps us strengthen the wellbeing and opportunities of people who live with a disability. You can support our disability services by assisting with administrative tasks, through gardening/ maintenance duties or by helping to prepare our community meal hosted each week.
