If you want to volunteer at one of our schools, preschools or children’s centres, you need to contact the site you want to help.

Online general induction

To get ready to volunteer with us, you can do a 30 minute online general induction for volunteers.

It covers:

• our organisation
• our policies
• your work health and safety responsibilities
• other information for volunteers.

If you haven't used plink before, you'll need to create a plink account.

Site induction

When you start, you’ll meet some of the children, teachers, staff and other volunteers. This induction might include:

• other training
• how to sign in
• where to make a cup of coffee or tea
• what to do in an emergency
• where to find the adult toilets
• start and finish times.

It’s also a good time for you to ask questions.

While you volunteer with us

You’ll be supported and given any training you need to do your role. If you have concerns, always feel you can ask questions.

Supervision

Volunteers are always supervised by the department’s staff. The type of supervision will fit the type of work you do.
