Parks and Wildlife Service
Hundreds of volunteers, and many volunteer organisations, provide valuable assistance to the Parks and Wildlife Service.
With almost 40% of the State protected and cared for in reserves, there are various opportunities for volunteers – everything from spending a few months alone on an island to caring for sick and orphaned wildlife. Perhaps you’d prefer to get your hands dirty with some track work, or even help to protect native animals in the wild.
The projects range from one-off tasks to long-term commitments, and are available to locals and visitors alike.
Visit the Parks and Wildlife Service: Become a Volunteer for more information about volunteering and our Partner Volunteer Organisations. You can also phone (03) 6429 8727 (north-west), (03) 6336 5328 (north) and (03) 6264 8463 (south).
Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery
The Friends of the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery is a group of like-minded people who enjoy culture, fun, and delicious catering.
Some of the advantages of joining the Friends of the TMAG include invitations to monthly events, talks by curators and visiting speakers, ‘behind the scenes’ visits, and excursions to other museums, galleries and cultural areas.
Similarly the TMAGgots are a volunteer-run organisation with the sole aim of connecting more young Tasmanians with the arts, culture, history and science.
TMAGgots hold five or six events per year, based on exhibitions or happenings at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.
Anyone between 18 and 40(ish) years is welcome to join TMAGgots for a few drinks and some hearty cultural gluttony.
Visit the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery: Get Involved for more information on TMAGgots or the Friends of the TMAG .
Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens
The Friends of the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens is a committed group of people who support the Gardens through voluntary work, activities, and fundraising. In short, they want to ensure that our gardens remain a beautiful and thriving sanctuary for all Tasmanians and visitors.
Opportunities for Friends of the RTBG include working in the Visitor Centre, guiding tours, propagating plants, and helping in the garden’s herbarium. Friends also contribute to the Friends of the Gardens Cottage, the Seed Conservation Centre, and the Cultural Heritage Group.
Active Friends receive training, copies of the magazine FAGUS, and discounts at the Botanical Shop.
