Our philosophy

We are dedicated to providing quality volunteer experiences. Volunteering is viewed as an opportunity to benefit the volunteer, the organisation and the community within which they all operate.  

Volunteering should be a two way process. Each volunteer has their own individual motivations for volunteering. We try to match your motivations with current volunteer opportunities.

Volunteers from all sectors of the community are encouraged to get on board and get involved with Red Cross.
 
 
Current Volunteer Opportunities  
Red Cross Victoria relies on the support of dedicated volunteers so that we can deliver our community and emergency services. Appropriate training will be provided for all volunteers and a successful police check is mandatory to become a volunteer for Red Cross.
