Volunteer With Us

PPCG works with a number of wonderful people who volunteer their time to support our programs including social meals, administration and support services and community engagement initiatives. We aim to provide a diverse range of opportunities for volunteers and appreciate the skills, experiences, talents, ideas and energy that volunteers bring in support of our mission and purpose.

PPCG requires all volunteers to undertake a Police Check and a Working with Children Check, and to provide their COVID-19 vaccination certificate prior to welcoming them to our team.

To apply for any volunteer position, please complete the expression of interest form and email it to info-support@ppcg.org.au
