Become a disability support worker volunteer

Volunteer

Volunteer placements offered by The Support People are for Disability Support Workers (Volunteer) located in Ballarat and Bendigo.

People wishing to become a volunteer need to be training to become a DSW through a recognised qualification, or have recently completed such a qualification, and meet other requirements as stipulated in the Position Description.

Volunteers are required to complete all pre-employment screening checks including a Police check and Disability Worker Exclusion List (DWEL) check.

Volunteers are required to complete the NDIS Quality & Safeguards Commission’s Worker Orientation Module ‘Quality, Safety & You’ and provide a copy of the Certificate of Completion, prior to commencement of work with The Support People.

We have the right to offer or withhold an offer of a volunteer placement to any applicant based upon the availability of a suitable volunteer role for that applicant at that time.

The offer of a volunteer role at The Support People is in no way a commitment to an offer of a future paid role.
