Volunteering
Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community, meet new people, and develop new skills.
There are opportunities to volunteer your time, skills and passions as a City of South Perth volunteer, including supporting our Libraries and the Old Mill, and being involved in our youth network. We also offer roles in our digital learning programs, English as a Second Language (ESL) conversation groups and Home Reader services. Please note we do not have a volunteer program at our Animal Care Facility.
Our next volunteer intake is in early 2027 and we look forward to welcoming new faces into our team then. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated on the City's volunteering opportunities.
Reasons to volunteer
By volunteering at the City, you can:
- Give back to your community: As a volunteer, you are a vital link in building strength of our community in line with the City's vision and values.
- Make a difference: Leave a lasting impact to the people you meet and the communities you support.
- Connect and grow: Learn new skills, make friends and join a team, invest in a hobby, or support a cause you care about.
- Do good and feel good in return: Volunteering boosts your health and wellbeing, keeps you connected, and leaves you with a real sense of purpose.
We partner with Act Belong Commit (Mentally Healthy WA) to support community wellbeing and encourage people to act, belong and commit through meaningful participation in community activities.
The City also recruits volunteers for specific City-run programs on a biannual basis, with calls for expressions of interest or recruitment rounds advertised via the City’s website and community notices. You can also enquire about volunteering programs with the City.
