Volunteering & Centrelink
Volunteering is not only a great way to help your local community, it could also help you to meet your JobSeeker mutual obligations.
Some Centrelink clients can choose to volunteer with an approved organisation to meet their
Mutual Obligations requirements. Eligibility for each person depends on their Mutual Obligation requirements – individuals should check with Centrelink. If an individual is eligible to do this, the next step is to find an Approved Voluntary Work Organisation.
We have many organisations who are registered, and we can help you with securing a suitable position. Please call us for a chat or apply online today.
"Volunteering is time willingly given for the common good and without financial gain".
- Volunteering Australia 2015 -
Volunteering can involve any number of different activites, organisations and causes. Whether you're helping a person in need, your local community, an endangered species, or the planet: all volunteering opportunities share the common trait of donating your time for the benefit of others.
People volunteer for a number of different reasons ranging from a desire to learn new skills, gaining work experience, fulfilling Centrelink obligations, having fun, helping others, forming new friendships, developing self-confidence and becoming more involved in the local or global community!
