Volunteer at our Wacol Shelter and Experience the Joy of Making a Pawsitive Difference!
At RSPCA Qld, we offer a range of volunteer roles that put you right at the heart of animal care. From hands-on work with dogs, cats, and farmyard friends to helping behind the scenes, there’s something for everyone.
These roles are rewarding—but they’re not all cuddles! Keeping animals happy and healthy means plenty of cleaning and physical work. Rain or shine, weekday or public holiday, we need dedicated volunteers every single day.
If you're keen to volunteer in an animal care role, please have a look at our current vacancies below and submit an application.
At present, we are unable to accommodate volunteers who require a support person due to current program capacity at this location.
Orientations are now being held online at this location.
Once you have been accepted into our program, you will be required to complete a series of online orientation modules. After finishing these modules, you will need to book an onsite Meet & Tour.
The Meet & Tour is approximately 1 hour and is currently held only on the following days: Mondays @ 9am – 10am (Weekly)
Due to current staff shortages, we’re unfortunately unable to provide any other days at this time. Any new days we can provide, we will update this notice.
PLEASE READ:
The Animal Care Assistant role is currently CLOSED due to staff & resource constraints.
Please do NOT submit an application for the Animal Care Assistant role through another application. Your application will be accepted only for the roles currently accepting volunteers.
Applications will reopen 02/11/2026
Thank you for your understanding.
