You’ll also:

Volunteer with Uniting Vic.Tas – Be Part of Real Community Impact
For more than 100 years, Uniting Vic.Tas has worked alongside communities across Victoria and Tasmania to create meaningful, lasting change.
Each year, we support thousands of people to build safer, stronger, and more connected lives. From helping children and young people thrive, to supporting families through challenging times, our work is grounded in practical outcomes that make a difference every day.
We walk alongside people experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, or addiction, helping them access the support they need to move forward. We empower older people to maintain independence, support people with disability to live life on their terms, and create pathways for learning, employment, and social connection. We also stand with asylum seekers, ensuring they feel welcomed, supported, and part of the community.
Why volunteer with us?
As a volunteer, you play a direct role in these outcomes. Whether it’s offering companionship, sharing skills, or supporting programs, your contribution helps create real change in people’s lives and strengthens the communities we all share.
Volunteering with Uniting is more than giving your time — it’s being part of something that matters.
