Volunteer with the Salvos
It takes an army of volunteers to provide and enable practical care for Australians every year. Volunteers bring life to our values of integrity, compassion, respect, diversity and collaboration.
We are always looking for individuals to bring fresh energy and ideas to a range of volunteer roles. Whatever your skillset, availability or areas of interest, you may surprise yourself with the different ways you can make a difference.
Volunteering is an invitation to demonstrate care for others in our local communities; it is the everyday embodiment of love in action. Those who give up their time so freely are some of the greatest contributors and advocates of The Salvation Army mission and vision.
It is through working alongside one another that transformation is possible. Not only do we focus on the transformative experience of service recipients and local communities, but also of our volunteers.
We commit ourselves in prayer and practice to this land of Australia and its people, seeking reconciliation, unity and equity.
Child safety
The Salvation Army is a child safe organisation. All child-facing roles require the successful completion of a Working with Children Check. Other roles may require a police check.
Equal opportunity employer
The Salvation Army Australia is also an equal opportunity employer who provides an inclusive work environment and embraces the diverse talent of its people.
Emergency Services
On average, we respond to an emergency event every day of the year. While we cannot predict when the next disaster will strike, we do know that we can make an impact in the lives of those in need with the valuable and dedicated support of our volunteers and supporters.
Drive for Life
Drive for Life is a driver training and mentoring program that equips young people aged 16-25 who face barriers to education, training and employment to attain their driver’s licence.
