Make-A-Wish Australia

Make-A-Wish Australia® grants hundreds of cherished wishes per year to children around Australia, who are between the ages of 4 and 18, and are living with a life-threatening illness.
There are current openings for volunteers throughout all 54 branches nation-wide, in metro, urban and rural areas. Make-A-Wish Australia are looking for enthusiastic and reliable people, over the age of 18, who are able to offer an ongoing commitment.
Volunteers comprise people of all ages, cultural backgrounds, life stages, and professions. The thing they all share in common is the desire to help other people. Volunteers are required for the activities of fundraising, granting wishes, and promoting the work of Make-A-Wish Australia within the community. Each Branch of Make-A-Wish Australia is a dedicated group of people who meet once a month at a central location to discuss wishes in progress, up coming events, and provide support to each other. Make-A-Wish volunteers put in many hours of work to ensure that the wishes of the children are granted in a very special way.
Please note that all applicants will be subject to a police background check before becoming members of Make-A-Wish. All propsective volunteers must be at least 18 years of age.
If you would like to take part in making children’s dreams come true by becoming a volunteer for Make-A-Wish, please contact Anne at volunteers@makeawish.org.au
