Geographic Location
We offer sessions in Victoria (Melbourne, Geelong, Albury-Wodonga), NSW (Sydney) and Tasmania (Hobart, Launceston). We are facilitating sessions face-to-face with some online sessions when needed. Therefore, our preference is for volunteers to be located in these regions.
If you are located outside of our operating locations and would like to join our volunteer team, please contact us at projectadmin@
