The Australia Tibet Council relies on keen, committed volunteers to help make a difference for Tibet. Volunteers play a vital role in ATC’s work from helping out in the National Office to holding banners and distributing information at demonstrations.

As a volunteer you’ll have the opportunity to either join a local Branch or Action Group or work in the National Office in Sydney.

There are also some links below for information about how you can volunteer overseas.

Become a National Office Volunteer

The Sydney-based National Office is always keen to hear from individuals who have time to offer on a regular basis to help keep the National Office running smoothly.

If you have particular skills and/or interests, we can discuss how to incorporate these into your voluntary work. Volunteers can be involved in many ways including local actions, fundraising, merchandising, banner creation and painting, information technology and assisting in research and campaigns.

If you live in Sydney and have a few hours or a day a week to spare, please fill in the Volunteer Registration Form and return it to us at the following address:
