Guide Dogs WA (and our parent organisation, EverAbility Group Limited), have a dedicated team of more than 240 volunteers of all ages, from all walks of life volunteering in a wide range of exciting activities. Our volunteers are a vital part of our organisation, and help us to provide many of our important services.
By joining our team of volunteers, you can make a difference to Western Australians living with low vision, disability or illness. You can also use this unique opportunity to learn new skills, meet and connect with new people and enhance your job prospects.
Regardless of whether you can help out a few times a week or once a year, there’s a volunteering position that suits you.
