The dedication, passion and diverse expertise of Harbour Trust volunteers are of great benefit, bolstering our ability to serve the community.
We are focused on engaging, supporting and celebrating the members of our volunteer team by ensuring they enjoy meaningful work together with benefits, including flu shots, training, uniforms and opportunities to socialise.
Ongoing Volunteer roles include visitor services, speakers, administration assistance, heritage restoration, event assistants, tour guides, gardeners and more. If you’re fascinated by the history of Sydney Harbour or simply want to give back to the community, we invite you to consider our volunteer program.
Our volunteer roles cater for different ages, skillsets and interests. We are currently seeking volunteers for the following positions...
We're seeking visitor services volunteers to help deliver a great visitor experience at Cockatoo Island and/or North Head Sanctuary. Successful candidates will welcome visitors, offer directions and historical information, sell merchandise and tour tickets, and promote current attractions. Volunteers are stationed at either our Cockatoo Island or North Head Sanctuary visitor centres, both of which operate daily. Volunteers are usually rostered one day per fortnight; however, this is negotiable. We particularly require additional volunteers for weekend shifts. If you are a “people person” – and have an interest in local history and (in the case of North Head Sanctuary) wildlife – we'd love to hear from you.
Featuring gun emplacements, underground tunnels and other military relics dating back to the 1870s, Georges Heights at Headland Park, Mosman once played a crucial role in the defence of Sydney Harbour. The Harbour Trust is seeking volunteers to lead visitors on guided tours of Headland Park, Mosman (See:Tunnels and Gunners Tour). An ideal candidate would have a keen interest in military history, a strong grasp of the subject matter and the confidence to take questions as they guide people to (and through) key landmarks including the heritage gun emplacements.
