## Volunteer at the Great Aussie Hike - Help Make 1,000 Christmas Gifts Possible

Saturday 17 October 2026 | Mornington Peninsula

Give your time and help make a very special difference in our local community.

The Great Aussie Hike is a supportive, non-competitive walking event that brings people together for an unforgettable day on the Mornington Peninsula.

This year, our event is raising funds to provide 1,000 Christmas gifts for children and teenagers who might otherwise go without.

And we need a wonderful team of volunteers to help make the day possible.

There are lots of ways to get involved

You could be

No event experience is required. We’ll provide the information, support and guidance you need.
