Volunteer with us

We are a small organisation with limited resources and volunteers play a critical role in enabling Down Syndrome Victoria to empower individuals with Down syndrome for a lifetime of meaningful inclusion in the community. The organisation, which began in 1978, was actually started by volunteers.

Volunteering is a way to connect with your local community as well as provide a pathway to both personal and skill development. Volunteering is open to people of all ages and individuals with a disability are encouraged to apply.

Volunteer information sessions

We really appreciate the commitment of time and energy of our volunteers. Volunteering is a way to connect with your local community, you can also learn new skills and grow your personal development.  

Find out more about volunteering with DSV! 

Every month we hold a volunteer information evening. Sessions are co-hosted by an adult with Down syndrome. 

You’re welcome to join us at the DSV office in North Melbourne, or relax at home and join via Zoom.
