Did you know that the Sutherland Shire has over 25,000 residents who reported being a volunteer in 2021?

We value our volunteers, and the contribution they make to our community. Volunteering is a wonderful way to make a difference in your lives and the lives of others. It’s a great way to develop skills, create new social networks, meet like-minded people and be actively engaged in the community.

We offer several opportunities for volunteering. View opportunities to volunteer with Council below:

Apply to volunteer with our Bushcare team

Apply to volunteer with our Animal Shelter team

Apply to volunteer with Hazelhurst Arts Centre

Apply to volunteer for Duke of Edinburgh with the Libraries
