  • Build self-confidence
  • Explore career opportunities
  • Gain a new direction in life
  • Give something back to the community
  • Feel needed and appreciated
  • Improve fitness

Volunteers must:

  • be between 12 and 85 yo
  • be physically fit enough to perform the duties allocated
  • have or be able to obtain a Working With Children Card (if over 15 yo)
  • complete a volunteer application form

VOLUNTEER ROLES

There are multiple roles for volunteers at RDA. If you'd like to work with horses and you can help 2-4 hours each week or fortnight on a weekday or on a Saturday then please contact us. Volunteers working with horses undergo Stage 1 Induction Training and Stage 2 Basic Training. After significant time as a volunteer there can be progression to Stage 3 Competency Training.

If you prefer other roles then volunteers can help with fundraising, events, gardening, administration, photography and more. Volunteers not working with horses undergo Stage 1 Induction Training.
