- Volunteer opportunities change regularly so keep checking back for updates.
Application process
All candidates will be required to complete an application for the role they are interested in. Candidates may only apply for one role, however once accepted as a volunteer you may also apply for other roles internally. Some roles will require an interview process to further assess a candidate’s suitability.
Induction and onboarding
All volunteers will be required to undertake online learning modules prior to volunteering at RSPCA Victoria. After this, volunteers will attend an on-site induction to help them understand their role and the location where they are volunteering, learn important health and safety requirements and of course, meet the team and animals!
Time commitment
For most roles we ask you can commit to shifts of four hours each week or fortnight for a minimum of six months. Although some other volunteering roles are more flexible in their time commitment.
