Volunteer with Monash

Monash is fortunate to have a large group of volunteers whose work and commitment in helping others is at the heart of our community. 

Monash Council volunteer programs are varied and always evolving. They may operate on a regular basis for most of the year and others may run temporarily, ad-hoc or as the need arises.

Some of our volunteering roles include Social Inclusion Programs, Library Programs, Museum of Australian Photography, Children’s Playgroups, Garden Guides and Meals on Wheels Programs.

Volunteer at Monash expressions of interest are currently closed.

In the interim, please contact our partner organisation South East Volunteers, who are able to provide many volunteering opportunities within Monash and surrounding areas.
