Volunteering with DRWA.

Volunteers are an integral part of the Diabetes Research WA team, providing their valuable time and skills in many important ways. Each of our volunteers is critical to the success of our organisation and we deeply appreciate their support.

Why volunteer with DRWA?

Research tells us that giving offers numerous benefits to individuals, not the least an improved sense of wellbeing. Other great reasons to volunteer your time with Diabetes Research WA include:

  • Give back to the local community in a meaningful way.
  • Enhance your existing skills – and develop new ones.
  • Make new friends and contacts.
  • Be part of an organisation making a real difference to people affected by diabetes.

Ways to volunteer.

As a not-for-profit organisation, the more support we have from the community – the faster we can reach our goals. We would love to hear from you if you think you can help us with:

  • Office work. Tasks range from general administrative duties through to answering the phone and processing donations.
  • Our event schedule runs all year round, ranging from smaller private functions through to public fundraisers.
  • Share our message with your networks and contacts. Spread the word about the importance of our work.
  • Skilled support. Over to you! If you believe you have specific skills that can support our efforts – let us know. We can tailor the right opportunity to you.
