Volunteering

The City of Port Phillip acknowledges the important role our local volunteers play in creating an inclusive, safe and inviting community. We are committed to supporting volunteering in our City and are grateful to all individual volunteering efforts and organisations that support our community.

Volunteering is a rewarding way to get involved in your community and provides an opportunity to:

  • contribute to your community
