The Museum’s volunteer program is an integral part of the life of the Museum. Our volunteers operate most areas of the Museum including reception, guiding, archives, library, maintenance, displays and the operation of Forceful.

We are a group of men and women, giving our time and skills, and in return we have the satisfaction of providing a worthwhile community service. As well, we have the companionship of persons of similar interests. Most members and volunteers are retired and find a need to remain active and appreciated. Our younger members have an opportunity  to learn skills of benefit to their future, and are a valued group.

The commitment is for one day per month, but many volunteers find projects or join a group, giving 2 or more days a week. There are no pressures on anyone to do anything other than which interests them.

Persons interested in assisting as a volunteer at the Museum are invited to contact the Operations Supervisor (phone 07 3844 5361,  facsimile 07 3846 1924 or by email) to discuss your skill and our needs. Or print out and complete the Volunteer Application and post or fax it to the Museum. (Note: Acrobat Reader required).

Membership of the Association is NOT a prerequisite to being a volunteer. In fact, many of our band of volunteers are not members.
