Volunteers – whether they are students on placements, members of our Board or Support Group leaders – they are an integral to what we do. We greatly appreciate their support and assistance in the delivery of our programs.

Current positions for volunteers are advertised as they become available.

WayAhead Mental Health Directory Volunteer

Wanting to fill in some of your spare time and contribute to the well-being of others?

WayAhead is seeking volunteers who can commit one or two days per week to assist us in maintaining our WayAhead information directory. The directory contains over 6,000 listings of mental health and community services in NSW and is visited by over 160,000 people per year.

Keeping the information current and reliable for users of the directory requires a team of people checking accuracy of the information. This is done by cold calling organisations who are listed.

If you have an eye for detail, enjoy talking on the phone and have excellent communication skills we would love to hear from you.

Our vibrant office is based in Woolloomooloo and on-site training is provided.

We are seeking volunteers who can work on Wednesday, Thursday or Fridays. Applications close Friday March 1st 2019.

For more information about the role please download the position description or call us on 9332 0241.
