Volunteer with the Salvos | The Salvation Army Australia

Get involved

It takes an army of volunteers to provide and enable practical care for Australians every year. 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.

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.
