Diabetes WA relies on our volunteers for several activities and programs. As a volunteer, you will act as an advocate and an ambassador for our organisation, embodying our values to help us to optimise the use of our funding.
For more information, or if you are interested in volunteering with us, please contact media@diabeteswa.com.au, and we will contact you as opportunities arise.
Our volunteer program is managed in accordance with National Standards for Volunteer Involvement, developed by Volunteering Australia. Diabetes WA takes taxation and financial obligations to volunteers seriously. The Australian Taxation Office provides information on these obligations. All volunteers are covered by occupational health and safety policies and procedures.
Diabetes WA acknowledge and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work.
We pay respects and acknowledge the important role of Elders past and present, for they hold the memories of the traditions, cultures, and aspirations of Australia’s First Nations peoples, and have taken on the responsibility to protect and promote our culture and leave a legacy for future Elders and leaders.
We acknowledge any Sorry Business that may be affecting individuals, families, and communities at this time.
As an organisation, we understand the impact that diabetes has on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia and as such we promise to be respectful, take lead from the community and walk together with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities, and organisations in our journey to reducing the impact of diabetes for the First Peoples of Australia.
