Volunteering with Melaleuca Refugee Centre
If you are interested in becoming part of a dynamic, diverse, fun and motivated team, then volunteer at Melaleuca Refugee Centre.
Volunteers play an extremely valuable role in providing social support to newly arrived refugee families and individuals. During the program, volunteers are matched to a specific household (families or individuals) for a six–month period. Staff and volunteers work together to build the capacity of these people, providing them with the skills to understand and enjoy their new lives, to empower new arrivals. All volunteers are inducted and fully supported by the volunteer coordinator at Melaleuca Refugee Centre.
The most important requirement for a volunteer to have, is time. Volunteers are asked to commit to around a four to six–month period. Once this period is over, volunteers can choose to can take a break or support another household for another six–month period.
Contact the volunteer coordinator for any enquiries about joining the program, to find out the date for the next orientation training session, or for more information about Melaleuca Refugee Centre and how you can contribute.
You can also download a volunteer application form from the sidebar and forward to the volunteer coordinator.
