Our centres
Volunteer with Barnardos
Become one of our volunteers. It's a fantastic way to meet like-minded people, have a lot of fun and make a difference.
Volunteers can make a huge difference!
We always need enthusiastic volunteers to help at a range of our fundraising events and help us raise funds for vital programs to help children, young people and families.
We simply couldn’t help Australia’s most vulnerable children without the hard work and dedication of our volunteers so thank you for considering to donate your time.

Event volunteering is a fantastic way to be involved in a fun day, meet great people and make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable children and young people

Skilled volunteering
Do you have special skills that you want to share? Skills-based volunteering allows you to use your specialised skills and talents to help us build and sustain our capacity as a non-profit organisation, to help children, young people and families
Upcoming volunteer opportunities
Food collection
Staff at our Penrith Centre are currently collecting goods from two local supermarkets, three - four mornings per week!
To help free up some of their time and get back to working directly with families in need, we are calling on reliable volunteers in the local area who can help pick up and deliver these goods to the Centre. You will need to have a WWCC, police check and drivers licence.
