Our commitment to volunteers

We value the positive and extensive contribution that volunteers make to our community. We are very fortunate that there is strong engagement with volunteers within Council and as a result we have limited vacancies.

Volunteers are involved extensively across Council including:

  • Tourism and events - visitor information centres and Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers
  • Cultural Services - libraries, art galleries and museums
  • Civic celebrations and commemorations - ANZAC Day and Australia Day
  • Maintaining parks, cemeteries, bushland and native nursery 
  • Advisory committees
  • Youth leadership program

 

We accept volunteers aged between 12 years to 92 years.

You will find our current vacancies on this page and can apply if you find something of interest. 

Should you not find a current vacancy of interest, we recommend you explore opportunities with other volunteer involving organisations in the Toowoomba region using either the Volunteering Queensland  or Toowoomba Community Directory platforms.

Our commitment to volunteers

Council is committed to meeting best practice standards for volunteer programs and providing a collaborative, supportive, and safe working environment for volunteers. We also aspire to make the volunteer experience an enjoyable and rewarding one for those that partake in our programs. Council volunteers are managed, supported and resourced following the National Standards for Volunteer Involvement, developed by Volunteering Australia.

Council's Vision

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Toowoomba Region whose song lines traverse our lands. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold the knowledge, rich traditions and bold ambitions of Australia's First Peoples.

Toowoomba Regional Council's vision is:

'A vibrant Toowoomba Region: built on Rich Traditions, thriving on Bold Ambitions'

Our mission is to deliver sustainable, quality services with a community focus, where our people enjoy their work, are empowered to undertake their roles, and are valued for their contributions.

Volunteers make an important contribution to this mission by supporting Council services, strengthening community connections and helping create a vibrant, inclusive and liveable region.

Through safe, meaningful and well-supported volunteering, community members contribute their time, skills and local knowledge to help make the Toowoomba Region the best of city and country.
