Regular Volunteering
Repair Lab Volunteers
Commencing April 2023, volunteers can use their skills and expertise to support the City's new Repair Labs initiative.
The City's Waste Team is seeking volunteers who can repair consumer items. At the same time, they will be educating our communities about the value of waste reduction.
Whether you are a born tinkerer or just love to engage people in activities that help reduce waste we would love to hear from you.
We have two roles available:

What is regular volunteering?
Our regular volunteers work with City staff to help deliver programs, activities, and events.
The regular volunteering roles are unique to the volunteering sector. As part of the role, you will have regular volunteer work and we will provide you training to help develop your skills and knowledge.
Regular roles don't have to be long term. Some roles are only for a short time (for example a school term or for a project) and can be managed alongside your other commitments.
All regular roles are advertised, and applicants are interviewed for the role.
Age restrictions
It is not always possible for us to provide hands-on supervision during volunteer activities. As such, volunteers need to be aged 18+to apply for a volunteering role.
If you are under 18, the SEEK Volunteer website has opportunities for young volunteers.
For those aged 85 or older, whilst some insurance restrictions apply, you are more than welcome to be part of our volunteer program.
