Becoming a Volunteer

Council has a group of generous volunteers who assist us within the Shire each year to help provide community, library, tourism and environmental services across our region.

Council aims to provide a diverse range of opportunities for volunteers and is appreciative of the skills, experiences, talents, ideas and energies that volunteers bring to Council.  

Volunteering offers many benefits, including:

  • meeting new people
  • having fun
  • learning or developing skills
  • gaining work experience
  • making a contribution to the community
  • enjoy a sense of achievement and fulfillment
  • boost self-esteem 
  • enjoy improved physical and mental health

From 2016 census figures, volunteers add almost $290 billion to the national economy each year!

Are you considering becoming a volunteer and helping our local community? Would you like some more information? Please contact Council on 02 6778 6300 or email council@uralla.nsw.gov.au. Upon completion of an application form, Council will arrange a Police Check and/or a Working with Children Check, if relevant, prior to welcoming you to the valued army of volunteers who keep so many of our valuable programs running.
