Welcome to our volunteer community

Your essential guide to volunteering at Adelaide University

Thank you for choosing to contribute your time, skills, and knowledge to support our university community.

Volunteers play a vital role in enriching university life, strengthening connections with our broader community, and helping us achieve meaningful impact across teaching, research, and student engagement. Whether you are a student, staff member, alumnus, or community member, your involvement is valued and appreciated.

To support you in your volunteering journey, a volunteer handbook has been designed and includes what you can expect from the program, what is expected of you, and where to find guidance, support and key information to help you engage safely, confidently and positively in your role.

Please download your copy of the volunteer handbook (login required) or, if you have any questions about this handbook, your volunteering or require assistance at any stage, please don’t hesitate to contact us on 8313 3354 or email: volunteer@adelaide.edu.au.
