Volunteering
Volunteering at RSPCA Darwin Regional Branch Inc.
Would you like to use your time and talents to help abandoned animals? If so, you are well on the way to becoming an RSPCA Volunteer!
Volunteers are the backbone and the life blood of the Society. RSPCA Darwin could simply not operate without the help of our generous and valued Volunteer Team Members.
Volunteers have been involved with the RSPCA since its earliest years, working to support the Society in its work to improve the welfare of animals and protect them from neglect and cruelty. Volunteers play a central role in all services that the RSPCA provides to both the animals in its care and to the community, through donating their time, energy and skills to help to advance the work of the Society.
Volunteering is a rewarding experience and opportunities exist to assist with animal care, administrative work, events, customer service, fundraising and maintenance.
How do I apply?
Due to the requirements of our insurance policy, volunteers at RSPCA Darwin must be aged between 12 and 80 years of age.
RSPCA Darwin reserves the right to refuse paid or unpaid employment to those who do not meet our age, security or Occupational Health & Safety requirements.

Cyclone Fosters
- Published 14/12/2010
As Christmas and New Year approach so does the threat of cyclones. We would like to up date our Foster Register for Cyclones so if the need arrives we can call on people to help look after the animals here. Over the holiday season we are always full and we need to ensure that we have enough people available so all dogs and cats can be safely removed from the shelter should the need arise. As a Cyclone Foster you would be required to collect an animal/s when a warning is given. You must ensure that the animal/s is kept in a safe and secure location with you. Generally animals can be returned to the shelter within a few days, once the shelter is safe and the cyclone has passed.
If you can help take 1 or 2 animals into your care in the event of a cyclone we’d love to hear from you. Please call the shelter or email admin@rspcadarwin.org.au to register.
