Volunteers

Volunteering is part of the Australian way of life…and thank goodness it is. Over the years volunteers have helped weave the fabric of our society and their work is vital in building and strengthening communities.

There are various volunteer roles within United Synergies and vacancies and needs arise from time to time. As a volunteer you can be assured you will be supported by guidance and advice in your role.

For further information on volunteering with United Synergies, please read our Volunteering facts sheet (view PDF)

Blue Cards

A blue card is issued to people who pass a Working with Children Check, which is carried out by The Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian.

The Commission is an independent statutory authority which promotes and protects the rights, interests and wellbeing of children and young people in Queensland, especially those most vulnerable.

Under The Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian Act (2000), people who work with children under 18 in particular businesses or categories of paid or voluntary employment, must undergo employment screening.
