Volunteer Roles
Volunteering opportunities
|
ADAVIC relies on multiple volunteer positions to assist us in providing vital support to the community. We have a regular team of between 35 and 50 active volunteers at any one time.
Current vacancies:
How to apply
- Read the position description (above) to see if your skills and interests match the role
- Submit your resume outlining your interest to ADAVIC's volunteer portal.
If you have any questions about these roles you can contact the ADAVIC office.
ADAVIC can provide a supportive learning environment for student placements and workplace learning.
ADAVIC does not currently offer any face-to-face counselling services for the community, and therefore we do not have suitable positions if this is required from a placement experience.
Our typical placement opportunities are the same as those offered for volunteer opportunities (see above), in particular:
- Support Group Facilitator Volunteer
- Phone, Email, and Admin Support Volunteer
Placement requirements differ across universities and tertiary institutes and across courses, including:
- the duration of the placement (number of hours required for completion)
- the type of placement experience needed (eg,
"counselling" vs. "support" opportunities; direct client contact (face-to-face) vs. phone contact; working independently with clients vs. observation only, etc)
- the type of field supervision required during the placement.
- reporting and assessment obligations
To determine whether your placement is suitable, it is best to contact the ADAVIC office.
