Volunteering at NCC

The Nature Conservation Council (NCC) is the umbrella organisation for over 120 environmental groups in NSW as well as an information centre for students and those wishing to learn more about environmental issues. A non-profit organisation and registered charity, we rely on volunteers to assist us in our busy office located in central Sydney.

Opportunities for voluntary work consist of helping both administrative and project staff with office support, campaign assistance or environmental research. The work would suit environmental science/studies student and graduates as well as people of all ages with relevant skills and an interest in environmental issues who can spare half/one day a week on a regular ongoing basis.

Currently we have project officers working on climate change, marine environment, fisheries, freshwater, bushfire, native vegetation, urban sustainability, education and more. Browse our website for more campaign information.

Volunteers usually work from 10 am - 4 pm. Part day shifts may also be available. Applicants need a good level of English - both spoken and written.

We are located at Level 2, 5 Wilson St, in Newtown, across the street from Newtown Station.
