Volunteer with us

Take the Lead with the Black Dog Institute’s Volunteer Program!

“Volunteers don’t necessarily have the time, they just have the heart”

Our volunteers are a valued asset to the Black Dog Institute team. Our Volunteer Program invites passionate individuals to play a part in achieving the Black Dog Institute’s mission to advance the understanding, diagnosis and management of the mood disorders.

Our volunteers are from all walks of life, some of whom have personal experience with a mood disorder. We value our volunteers, whose unique talents, skills and qualities enrich our services.

Volunteers can support the Institute in a range of ways, including:

• Become a Community Presenter and deliver our education presentations to the community.
• Become a Youth Presenter and deliver our education presentations to young people.
• Become a Support Group Facilitator for groups of people who are affected by mood disorders.
• Provide Office Support to the Institute based in Sydney or participate in skill-based volunteering by offering your professional skills to work on Special Projects.
• Participate in fundraising activites to raise funds and awareness of mood disorders.
  

The Black Dog Institute is committed to providing a rewarding experience for volunteers by offering ongoing training opportunities and support.
