Volunteer for Centerlink purposes

Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Can I do volunteer work to qualify for my Centrelink payment?
    Yes, if you receive an allowance (i.e Newstart) from Centrelink that asks you to volunteer (i.e 15 hours per week) to qualify for your payments we can generally help you meet all, or part of, that commitment. This depends on the vacancies that exist.
  1. Can I get a reference from Uniting Country SA?
    After volunteering for a period of three months or more, you can request that your Volunteer Coordinator acts as a referee.
  1. Can I go on holidays?
    Everyone needs a break and we encourage you to plan some time away from your volunteer tasks. Let your Volunteer Coordinator know in advance when you intend to be away so that suitable arrangements can be made in your absence.

    Training opportunities will be available depending on funding and training needs. Please speak with your coordinator.
  1. Do I require any screening checks?
    Yes, all volunteers must have a DHS Working with Children Check before commencement. This is free of charge and will be organised by the Volunteer Coordinator at Uniting Country SA.
