Volunteer for us
Our volunteers play an important part in our organisation. By volunteering with Cancer Council Tasmania (CCT) you will be helping fellow Tasmanian’s impacted by cancer. We have a variety of roles available to suit your experience, skills, interests and your availability.
VOLUNTEER ROLES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
Supportive Care Program Volunteer Roles Currently Available
CCT has several positions available for those wishing to assist in supporting and providing information to anyone affected by cancer. These roles provide a welcoming presence to all visitors to the Hobart and Launceston Support Centres and to assist our Supportive Care Staff in the provision of services.
These roles would appeal to caring individuals who are able to give a half day once or twice a week, and there are options for volunteering on a more casual basis.
Cancer Council Tasmania (CCT) offers a Walking Support Group supported and led by a group of dedicated volunteers. The aim is to provide gentle exercise and social support to group members who have been impacted by cancer. The Walking Group only meets once a month (Wednesday in Hobart, Wednesdays/Fridays in the North & North West), so for those who may have limited time to volunteer, this is a wonderful way to be contribute and be involved with those in need of support, whilst being active at the same time!
Interested? We'd love to hear from you.

VOLUNTEER IN THE SPOTLIGHT
For anyone on the North West coast who has used our transport2treatment service, the name Trevor Snooks may ring a bell.
Trevor has been behind the wheel as a volunteer driver for 15 years and has transported hundreds of people to their cancer medical appointments over that time.

Trevor SnooksI had my own journey with cancer and I had just retired from work. At that particular stage the Cancer Council were considering starting the tranport2treament service up. So I said to my wife this could be enough to keep me going whilst I’m retired."
