Any volunteer jobs for the Bush fires

Hey locals, would anyone be able to point in the right direction to do some volunteer work with those affected by the fires, willing to travel a bit to help out

Not directly for people but RSPCA and a bunch of other animal shelters will need help with affected wildlife and/or finding displaced pets. It’s super rewarding!

Well you can apply to be a vollie on their site and I would probably reccomend being a driver as they are ALWAYS low on those :)

I'm mad I have to pay to volunteer for those. I've got a lot of spare time between being a house-spouse that I want to contribute but what I don't have spare is $50 for a "uniform". I spend $30 a week on out-of-date food for myself and $50 on lunches and dinner for my partner...and that's literally it. I could just not eat for a week for the privilege to use my spare labor-hours to assisting?

Rant over

Are you a fire fighter? Contact the GC RFS or the SES, they could probably help you.
