We appreciate that in times of need, Western Australians want to help.
Community volunteers can provide crucial support to people who are impacted by an emergency.
Volunteering WA's role in non-frontline emergency volunteering
Our role is to connect people to community groups who need help outside of formal frontline emergency services roles. Non-frontline community volunteers (also known as spontaneous emergency volunteers or community helpers) provide invaluable support to community groups and organisations before, during and after an emergency.
emergency.volunteer.org.au is managed by Volunteering WA, the peak body for volunteering in Western Australia.
Over 4,573 people registered their details on the site during previous emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Wooroloo Bushfires, and Kimberley Floods to help collect donations and prepare food for affected families and frontline volunteers, clean and rebuild damaged communities, help care for displaced animals, and provide administrative support to response agencies.
