RSPCA QLD

As an animal welfare organisation, RSPCA Qld have a variety of different volunteer roles involving hands-on animal interaction.

These roles are incredibly rewarding, but be warned - keeping animals happy and healthy requires a lot of cleaning! It can be physically demanding, and we need assistance every day of the year - whether it's sunshine or rain, a public holiday or a weekday. Of course, it's not just cleaning; there's plenty of opportunities for enrichment activities too. 

Volunteer roles can involve working with:

• Domestic animals (dogs, cats, pocket pets, or farmyard) at one of our Animal Care Centres
• Domestic animals recovering from illness or medical procedures at the Domestic Hospital or clinic
• Wildlife animals recovering or rehabilitating in preparation for release to the wild, or to a wildlife carer for further rehabilitation

If you're keen to volunteer in an animal care role, please have a look at our current vacancies and submit an application.

There are many areas within the RSPCA where you can volunteer to make a difference in the lives of animals. RSPCA believes that education is the key to changing hearts, minds and behaviours across the community.

Community and Education roles include a variety of volunteer opportunities such as, assisting at community action days or delivering presentations to schools and community groups about responsible pet ownership and animal welfare.

Through these events, RSPCA aims to engage and inspire local communities to become socially conscious animal communities.

Examples of activities that you can get involved with are:

• Proactive People & Pets community activations, aiming to support animal welfare within communities
• Education visits (Schools and community)
• Community Fundraising events, from large events such as Million Paws Walk or Give to Get Them Home, or smaller events like bake sales or sausage sizzles

Together we change lives!

While there are a lot of volunteer roles at RSPCA Qld are focused on caring for the animals in our animal care centres, we have many other roles that help support us in the other areas of our organisation!

There's a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes to help keep RSPCA Qld moving like a well-oiled machine, so that we can continue to care for the animals and provide vital services to the community. Some volunteer roles require specialised skill sets or interests, so if this sounds like you, please have a look at our current vacancies. 

Volunteers help us in areas such as the following:

• Marketing (e.g. graphic design, copywriting, photography)
• Call Centre and Customer Service
• Administration
• Fundraising
