Volunteers play an important role across the Central Darling Shire. The remoteness of our Shire means that often volunteers can be called upon to step in. In larger towns and cities, the community might rely on professionals and officials.

Volunteers play a crucial role in protecting others and responding to natural disasters and Emergency incidents. They are also crucial to community and social wellbeing. Volunteer activities include organising and running community and sporting events.

Volunteering can also be a great way to meet new people and feel a part of our community.
