Our community thrives thanks to volunteers. They are the heart of so many local programs, services, and social connections. If you have ever thought about giving back, now is the perfect time to get involved. Whether you have a few hours to spare or are looking for a regular commitment, your contribution matters.
The Greater Shepparton Volunteer Managers Network connects people with a variety of volunteering opportunities. You could help deliver food to those doing it tough, provide material aid to expectant mothers, support local sporting clubs, offer companionship to seniors, or mentor young people who could use a positive role model.
If you love the outdoors, there are opportunities to help care for our natural environment. If you enjoy meeting people, you could showcase our region’s amazing attractions. If you have a passion for inclusion, you can support people with disabilities.
Volunteering doesn’t just benefit the community – it benefits you too! It is a great way to meet new people, learn new skills, and feel a real sense of purpose.
No matter how big or small your contribution, it makes a difference.

Greater Shepparton Visitor Centre
VOLUNTEERING at the Greater Shepparton Visitor Centre is a wonderful way to stay active, connected, and contribute meaningfully to your community. It offers the chance to meet new and interesting people from your neighbourhood or across the world. You can share your love for the region, and help visitors discover the best of Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley.
Whether you are recommending local cafés, helping someone plan their itinerary, or assisting at one of our pop-up events, every day brings something new and rewarding.
Beyond the role itself, many of our volunteers enjoy the friendships formed and the sense of belonging that comes with being part of a supportive and welcoming team. The social connection and shared experiences are just as valuable as the service provided.
The Greater Shepparton Visitor Centre will be opening recruitment for new volunteers in July/August this year, and they would love to hear from you. If you are curious or would like to learn more, please get in touch via info@sheppandgv.com.au or call 5832 9333. To register your interest, search shepp.city/volunteer online.
