Volunteering

Volunteers are an important part of the Nexus team. People with a range of different skills and experience can volunteer with us. Volunteering is a way that you can contribute to your community.

Our volunteering program can help you grow your skills experience and knowledge. Volunteering may help you gain employment.

There are a range of volunteering opportunities across our services including:

• Meals on Wheels in the Mitchell and Murrindindi Shires.

 At Nexus we will protect children and vulnerable people. All of our volunteers need to have a:
