Our incredible teams of volunteers also live our philosophy of
optimism, fun and hope and we'd love you to join the team! We have
a range of volunteering opportunities including being a companion
on kids' camps and assisting on family camps, helping with
community fundraising, welcoming new families and lending a hand
around the CQ office.
Companions
One of our biggest roles for our volunteers. Companions - our
big kids! - accompany our campers and siblings on camp for 3 -5
days. Their job is to make sure all our campers are safe and having
a great time.

Fundraising volunteers
Fundraising for Camp Quality is very important as the dollars we
raise help Camp Quality continue and support the wonderful programs
that provide FUN THERAPY to so many children and families affected
by cancer.
We are always looking for people to help at our fundraising
events which involve days from fun runs to balls.
If you would like to help in fundraising please call
Julie on 3216 0299 or email julie.sampson@campquality.org.au

Welcome Team
We all know what it's like to be newbie whether it be starting a
new job or joining a new sporting team and you how important it is
to feel welcomed and informed. Will you help us welcome new
families to our wonderful organisation? You will give new families
a call when they first join CQ to find out a little about them and
how we can help. You will also play a vital role in rolling out our
new Mentoring program. This program will new support new families
when they first return home from hospital by putting them in touch
with a CQ mentor - an existing CQ family!

Are you a social butterfly who just loves to organise get
togethers? Then we need you! Join the team who will be in charge of
organising social events both for our volunteers throughout the
year as well as CQ families to help build better support networks
outside of camp time. Fun Fun Fun!

everyone just how great CQ is? We're looking for a group of people
to represent CQ at various events including Rotary & Lions Club
meetings, cheque presentations etc. Come on down Chatterboxes!

Be an All Star and help out the CQ office during the week!
You'll assist with a range of admin tasks like helping us get ready

HR Heroes
We're looking for people to help us better support all of
volunteers and who better to do this than volunteers
themselves? If you're interested in having a more hands on role in
CQ volunteer recruitment, appreciation, training, feedback and
evaluation then you might just be the HR Hero we so desperately
need!
Happy Hospitals
We're looking for a group of energetic people to visit the Royal
Children's Hospital once a week to meet new families and to visit
any CQ children that might be in hospital at the time. It will give
you another chance to hang out and have fun with the kids outside
of camp time!
