Is there a chance that I might gain paid work in the organisation if I Volunteer first?

You are invited to submit job applications for external vacancies, and will be given the same consideration as the general public.  All external vacancies appear on the Employment page of the Mount Barker District Council website.

Volunteering is a great first step to gaining paid employment and learning how an organisation works, not always with the organisation you volunteer with. Your Volunteer Program Coordinator may be happy to be a referee and comment on the volunteer role in which you have been involved in, and a report on your hours and training can be provided on request as well.
