Make-A-Wish® Australia brings amazing people together to grant inspirational, life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We work with these kids and their families to grant unforgettable wishes, like making unicorns fly, sending kids to the moon, and even helping Australia's youngest ever cricket captain don the baggy green!

When you volunteer in your local Brisbane City South Branch, you’ll help children who are fighting reliable illnesses by:

- Attending branch meetings on a weekday evening once a month.
- Helping local wish families by capturing their child’s unique wish and bringing the wish to life through different stages of the Wish Journey.
- Supporting fundraising and events, from trivia nights and sausage sizzles to gala balls and bake-offs. Please note that events vary by branch location.

- Raising awareness and support in your local community, helping drive our reach and impact to achieve our mission.

Before applying, please consider the key requirements of a volunteer:

- Must be 18 years or over.
- Minimum 12-month commitment to ensure consistency for wish children and their families.
- Complete a comprehensive background check, including interview, reference checks, a Working with Children Check (or equivalent for your State/Territory), and a National Background Check.




- Complete comprehensive online induction training within the first 6 weeks, so at least a basic level of technical skill is required, plus access to a personal email and a suitable device, such as a laptop.
- Attend monthly meetings on a weekday evening once a month.
- Have access to reliable transport to attend meetings, wishes and fundraising events.

Experience the joy of making wishes come true and support local families through volunteer events and activities. If you're inspired by our values of Integrity, Innovation, Impact, Community, and Child Focus, apply today!

Make-A-Wish Australia is proud to be a child-safe organisation. Our recruitment practices are strictly adhered to during the application and interview process and include background screening to ensure that anyone who joins Make-A-Wish aligns with our values and commitment to child safety.
