Benefits of becoming a volunteer

Volunteering enhances community spirit and provides residents with opportunities to acquire, develop and share skills and knowledge, and to participate in community life. Furthermore, volunteers enable and enrich the provision of programs and services to the community.

Becoming a volunteer is a great way to:

  • get actively involved in your community
  • help someone else
  • build confidence
  • meet new people
  • learn new skills
  • gain valuable job experience.

Community Disaster Management

Team member volunteer

Community Disaster Management is an official volunteer program of Council's Disaster Management Team. The program is made up of community-led teams from areas that are vulnerable to isolation during disaster events (see list of community teams). Team members are local residents who volunteer to support their community before, during and after disasters and are a valuable resource to Council, emergency services and their communities.

Due to the nature of the program, you must live in the area your team is based in:

  • Beachmere
  • Dayboro District (this team is currently at capacity)
  • Donnybrook and Meldale
  • Mount Glorious
  • Mount Mee and Ocean View
  • Mount Nebo
  • Toorbul.
