Become a volunteer

Want to make a direct impact on animal welfare? Join our team and help drive real change for pets, people, and communities across Australia!

While we don’t work directly with animals, our volunteers play a vital role behind the scenes - from admin, finance, marketing, IT, fundraising, field work, grant writing, and research, to many other areas that help create lasting, evidence-based change.

If there aren’t any open positions listed right now, we’d still love to hear from you! Please send us your CV and a short note about your skills or interests - we’ll keep your details on file for when new opportunities arise.

For most volunteering roles, the main requirement is a positive attitude and a love of cats and dogs. We welcome applications from all backgrounds but will be sure to list any specific requirements in the role descriptions.

Unfortunately, we are only able to accept volunteers aged over 18.

Please note, we are a research and advocacy group; we do not provide direct care to shelter pets. For those opportunities, we suggest reaching out to a pet rescue organisation local to you.
