Volunteering

We are looking for friendly people who are looking to make a difference in our community by helping us to plan and deliver social connection activities at the Gladstone Mindcare Hub.

Social connection is an important component of mental health and wellbeing and social connection activities facilitates the engagement of individuals in meaningful and inclusive activities that strengthen their sense of connection, wellbeing, independence and confidence. 

Gladstone Mindcare uses an online platform to manage all volunteer activity.  Our online volunteer centre allows you to register, update your volunteer availability and preferences, see upcoming volunteer opportunities, check out the latest news and more.

Volaby is a software tool built by Orange Sky Australia, that helps us to recruit, onboard, communicate, roster and develop our volunteer workforce.

There are multiple opportunities available for volunteers with Gladstone Mindcare including social connection activities, helping us out at events or behind the scenes support with things like admin, marketing, fundraising or project management.
