Volunteers TAS

Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community and meet culturally-engaged people from around the world. The Trust aims to make its properties real social hubs. If you are a National Trust volunteer (or have been in the past), we hope you will consider re-engaging and introducing family members, friends and sea/tree changers. The Trust has a range of volunteer roles to suit your interests from tour guiding to gardening; to collection care and event organizing. If you wish to contribute to your community through volunteering for the National Trust, please scroll down for the online form or contact us at admin@nationaltrusttas.org.au
