Wish supporter
Volunteers are the backbone of our organisation. We are always looking for individuals to bring fresh energy and ideas to a range of volunteer roles. Whatever your skillset, availability or areas of interest, you may surprise yourself with the different ways you can help fulfil a final wish.
Administrative, data, business, digital, creative or marketing skills are all needed by Ambulance Wish Western Australia to fulfil final wishes and promote the voluntary organisation. For example, volunteers can help with all kinds of tasks, from data entry to mascot uniform sewing, while those with specific skills – such as marketing or management, can help with specific projects or initiatives, to help improve our processes or provide strategic advice. If you’re able to use your skills to help us, please complete the below volunteer application form.

Every wish we fulfil is made possible by people who generously contribute their time, skills and compassion to help create meaningful memories for people living with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones.
Our Volunteer Agreement outlines the shared responsibilities, expectations and commitments that help us maintain a safe, respectful and supportive environment for our wish recipients, their families and our volunteers.
The agreement provides an important foundation for volunteering with Ambulance Wish WA, including our commitment to professionalism, confidentiality, dignity, safety and working together in accordance with the charity's values, policies and procedures.
