Volunteering

Volunteers play an integral role at Minda - ensuring programs and services are delivered to the individuals we support. We currently have 363 registered volunteers, who have volunteered an outstanding 8,500 hours for the 2009 calendar year.

Minda’s Volunteer Services is a channel through which members of the community who desire to help can contribute their resources, energy and ideas for the benefit of Minda and the community. Minda's Volunteer Services is benchmarked  against national volunteer standards.

We recognise diversity in our community and encourage anyone who is committed, reliable and enthusiastic to consider joining our volunteer team. Volunteers are individually matched to appropriate areas/tasks.

Volunteers support Minda in a wide variety of roles in the following areas:

  • Bus driving
  • Holidays – short, interstate and overseas
  • Cooking
  • Personal grooming
  • Health and fitness
  • Supporting individuals on outings
  • Gardening
  • Socialising
  • Administration and fundraising
  • Day Option activities

How can I become a volunteer?
