Volunteer

Become a volunteer with the Department for Child Protection. If you’re an understanding, caring, enthusiastic person with an interest in improving outcomes for children and young people we’d like to hear from you.
Tasks may include but not limited to:
• Driving a child to family visits, school or appointments.
• Life story book work.
• Recreational activities.
• Skill development such as sharing a particular skill (i.e. how to shop for food or clothing).

Benefits include helping your community by supporting vulnerable children. Social contact with a variety of people and developing valuable networks. Developing career options and personal growth.

As a volunteer you will be:
• Provided with the adequate training, orientation and ongoing support.
• Reimbursed for mileage to and from DCP office.

Government vehicles are used for the volunteer tasks and, as a volunteer, you are covered by the government volunteer’s insurance cover.

We appreciate any time you are able to give and will try and work around your availability. We do ask volunteers to be reliable and available for a reasonable amount of time which may be weekly, fortnightly or monthly, weekdays and or weekends.

Working With Children Checks are required and can now be completed online.
