Volunteering with McAuley

Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering with us. Volunteer opportunities can be found on our Careers page 

Volunteers are an important part of the fabric of McAuley.  Each volunteer brings skills and experiences that add value to the range of supports and programs that McAuley provides.

Volunteers are drawn to us by a strong desire to give their time to support women and children experiencing homelessness and family violence.

About our volunteering program

Our volunteers are an essential part of our organisation. We couldn’t manage without their support.

Volunteers help women and children move towards safer, better lives, while also gaining a unique and valuable personal experience. We have a wide range of opportunities for people who can spare three to four hours a week or fortnightly.

We can accommodate business or school hours, weekends, and after hours. There are so many ways to get involved!
