Make a difference at Breakaway

GIVE YOUR TIME. MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Volunteers are an important part of the Breakaway community. By giving your time, skills and enthusiasm, you can help us continue creating welcoming, inclusive experiences for people with disability while supporting the work we do across our organisation. 

 
Whether you can help regularly or only from time to time, we’d love to hear from you.
 
 
THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
 
Depending on your interests, skills and availability, volunteer opportunities may include:
 
COMMUNITY AND PROGRAMS VOLUNTEERS:
 
  • Helping with activities and events
  • Supporting our disability programs
  • Arts, crafts and recreational activities
  • Assisting in our Auxiliary Cottage store
  • Fundraising and community events
  • Helping with functions and special occasions
  • Sharing a particular skill, hobby or talent with our community
GARDENING & GROUNDS VOLUNTEERS:

  • General maintenance and practical projects
  • Mowing and lawn care
  • Gardening and weeding
  • Pruning and maintaining gardens
  • Painting and small maintenance projects
  • Basic Repairs and handyman jobs
  • General Property tidy-ups
  • Assisting with special projects around the grounds
 Whether you’re retired, keen gardener, tradie with some spare time, or simply someone who enjoys getting outdoors and lending a hand, your help could make a difference.
 
You don’t necessarily need previous experience. What matters most is being reliable, respectful and enthusiastic about contributing to an inclusive community.
WHY VOLUNTEER WITH BREAKAWAY?
 
Volunteering is a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills, become involved in your local community and know that the time you give is helping support people with disability.
 
Whether it’s a few hours at an event, helping with a project or becoming one of our regular volunteers, every contribution matters.
 
 
VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS
 
The requirements for volunteering will depend on the type of role you undertake. Some positions require appropriate screening, NDIS and Working with children checks or training before you begin, particularly when volunteering directly with people with disability.
 
Our team will discuss any requirements with you as part of the volunteer application process.
  
CORPORATE & GROUP VOLUNTEERING
 
We also welcome enquiries from businesses, community organisations and groups interested in volunteering together.
 
A group volunteer day can be a meaningful way to give back while helping Breakaway with practical projects, events, gardening, maintenance or other areas where an extra set of hands can make a real difference.
