Bellarine and Geelong

Environmental Volunteering Calendar

Resources

The Bellarine Catchment Network Community Events Portal is intended to help those who live, work and visit the Greater Geelong and Queenscliff region to volunteer to help care for our Country. For many, the biggest barrier to volunteering is not knowing who to volunteer for, or what to do. This microsite/portal aims to showcase all environmental volunteering opportunities in the region including summary information and contact details, to help build those initial connections.

On this page you can learn how to prepare to volunteer, from how to apply for a Working With Children Check, what kind of Personal Protective Equipment you may need and how to communicate with volunteer groups. We have also listed a selection of helpful websites for getting started as a volunteer or building your volunteering skills, as well as resources with helpful advice about becoming a volunteer.
