Hume Volunteer Gateway: an online tool for finding volunteer opportunities

Hume City Council recognises and values the contribution that volunteers make to our local community supporting our programs.  Our volunteer programs are integrated with our broader Council vision and objectives.

Applying to volunteer in a few simple steps:

1. To view the current Volunteering opportunities, scroll down the page. 
2. Click on the volunteer role and read carefully the information to ensure you understand about the opportunity, the skills and experiences for the role. 
3. To apply, click the "Fill in an application" for the volunteering opportunity you are interested in currently below on display .

Your volunteer application is an expression of interest only and will be forward to the relevant department recruiting for volunteers and a Council staff officer will contact you to discuss further your interest in the volunteering role.

Council is strongly committed to Child Safety and has a comprehensive screening and induction process for volunteers.

As part of the process, some volunteer roles may be required to:

• Attend an interview with Council staff officers
• Attend a group information session
• Complete a National Criminal History Check (via FIT2WORK)
• Have a current  Victorian Working with Children Check card (with our organisation successfully added to your card)
• Driver’s Licence checks
• Complete a Health Declaration form
• Provide evidence of your COVID–19 vaccination or having a valid medical exemption

These will be explained at the time of an interview with Council staff who manage the volunteer program.

The Hume Enviro Champions program provides ten weeks of free training with the aim of building capacity within the community to develop, implement and evaluate environmental community projects. This is combined with other benefits such as:

•    following your community or environmental passion
•    meeting like-minded people
•    building self confidence
•    making a difference in your community and environment
•    learning new skills.
Over 120 community members have completed the training program since its commencement in 2012, and participated in over 60 community-run projects that benefit our local communities and the environment.
