VRC West Perth
The Volunteer Resource Centre (VRC) West Perth supports volunteers looking for positions in the greater Perth community, and supports organisations to follow best practice guidelines in volunteer management.
The VRC West Perth is located at the City West Lotteries House, 2 Delhi Street in West Perth. The Centre office is open from Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm. Information on volunteering can also be accessed during business hours via the phone on 1800 678 114, or 24 hours per day via our website - www.volunteeringwa.org.au.
Volunteer Support
The VRC West Perth is open for phone and face-to-face volunteer referral appointments on Mondays and Tuesdays from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. At the appointment, your details, skills and interests are entered into a database, matching you with up-to-date information on available volunteer positions. You will be assisted to make an informed choice from the opportunities available, and if possible, an appointment will be made for you to meet with an appropriate person at the organisation. You can also use our internet referral service 24/7 - click here to search for a volunteer position.
The VRC West Perth also offers "Introduction to Volunteering" sessions once a month for people wanting to learn more about volunteering before committing to an actual position. The sessions cover the rights and responsibilities of volunteers (as well as volunteer-involving organisations), insurance concerns, and the various types of positions available. The session lasts for an hour and includes plenty of time for questions.
