Volunteer

Volunteer Service
Volunteering is especially appreciated in the Australian society with an estimated one in four Australians performing some type of volunteering works.
ACCA has been fortunate to receive the assistance of thousands of volunteers since its inception in 1974. These volunteers gave their time and effort in serving the needy members of our community. Their selfless contribution had allowed us to continuously improve and expand the services we provide.
At ACCA, training is conducted regularly for volunteers to enhance their skill and understanding of volunteering. Training provides the volunteers the opportunity to learn new abilities and will enhance their volunteering experience to be more enjoyable.
To recognise and appreciate the contribution of volunteers, ACCA implements a Volunteer Award Scheme in which all ACCA volunteers are eligible to participate. A special event, “Volunteer Presentation Day” is held in appreciation of all ACCA volunteers who dedicate their time and energy.
