Volunteer through DHS

Volunteering can provide the chance to meet new people, share knowledge and experience and learn new skills, while giving something back to the community.

There are many different volunteering opportunities available across our department.

Volunteer with the Community Visitor Scheme

Community Visitors are trained volunteers. They visit people living under government mental health and disability care to monitor their rights and wellbeing. Community Visitors work in pairs to inspect the facilities and engage with as many residents as possible to hear about their experiences. They also make inquiries into residents' care and treatment.

Community Visitors communicate any issues to staff at the facility and provide the Principal Community Visitor with a written report on their visit.

Learn who can apply and how on the Community Visitor Scheme website.

Help support the Women's Information Service

Shopfront and community engagement

Volunteers at the Women's Information Service shopfront provide information and referrals to women from all walks of life who phone in or visit. There are also opportunities to volunteer at community events on Women's Information Service stalls and to provide talks to student groups.

Haven support across the state

Volunteers at the Havens work at reception alongside staff giving out information and referrals.

Family Court Support

Family Court Support volunteers attend court with women who don’t have friends or family to provide support. Many of the cases involve a history of domestic violence and the court process can be daunting and difficult to navigate. Volunteers provide information about the court and its processes, sit with the woman before and during the hearing and provide a listening ear.
