Role: Treasurer
Location: Melbourne
Time commitment: Approximately 4–6 hours per month, including monthly Board meetings and fortnightly Finance Committee meetings.
Overview: West Welcome Wagon is a grassroots, volunteer-powered not-for-profit organisation based in Melbourne’s western suburbs. Since 2013, they have been dedicated to welcoming and supporting asylum seekers and refugees as they rebuild their lives in Australia.
Their mission is to provide practical, essential support to help new arrivals create safe, comfortable homes and feel a sense of belonging in our community. They collect and distribute high-quality donated items—such as furniture, whitegoods, bedding, clothing, and kitchenware—tailored to the unique needs of each household. Many of the people they assist arrive with few possessions and limited resources, so their support can make a world of difference.
Skills: This volunteer governance role is ideal for someone with finance, accounting or audit experience who is passionate about community impact and financial stewardship.
Closing date: 13 November 2026
