Volunteer with WAAC at Leavers 2026!

WAAC has provided health promotion, education, and support at Leavers celebrations in Dunsborough for over two decades.

We provide peer education and support to them with a framework of harm minimisation. Our goal is that young people will have access to information and support that will allow them to make safer choices while experiencing a week to remember – for the right reasons!

Our Leavers outreach relies on trained volunteers who work directly with young people to provide peer social support to Leavers, discussing sexual health and safety, alcohol and drug use and mental wellbeing while being non-judgemental. Harm reduction is the name of the game!

Our team provides support to Leavers during day and night events. If you’ve celebrated your Leavers in the Zone, you’ve probably seen us handing out free condoms!

What we're looking for:

• You're 18-30 years old
• You’re confident chatting with young people and happy to get involved in activities.
• You’re comfortable talking about sex, consent, alcohol, and other topics in a respectful, non-judgemental, and sex-positive way.
• You’re are a team player and you bring good energy to the group.
• You have experience working with young people and know how to stay professional while being approachable.
• You’re great at taking direction and using your initiative (like helping pack or unpack cars without being asked!).
• You work well in a team, are happy to pitch in wherever needed, and stay flexible as plans shift.
• You’re mindful of self-care so you can stay energised and engaged throughout the week.
• You’re comfortable being in a busy, high-sensory environment with medium to high levels of noise, light, and activity.
• You’re able to stay calm and composed in fast-paced or unpredictable situations.
• You’re comfortable working outdoors in dusty or allergen-prone environments, like festival-style fields. We work rain or shine!
