For over 100 years, Girl Guides has empowered girls and women to grow, lead, and thrive. We are proud to be a Child Safe, Child Friendly organisation committed to creating a positive and supportive environment.
As an adult member of Girl Guides Australia, women can strengthen their skills, be a role-model, enhance the skills of girls and young women and benefit the community. Our volunteer Adult Members are an incredible group of women with unique skills and experiences, that make a real difference in the lives of young people.
You can choose a role to suit your availability and interests. Unit Leaders and Helpers facilitate fun and diverse weekly programs shaped by the ideas of the girls in the Unit. Ongoing Volunteer Adults may support a Unit on a less regular basis, while Casual Volunteers may help at events, camps, or activities when they can. You can also support leadership or management teams in a behind-the-scenes role to keep Guiding strong.
No prior Guiding experience is necessary, but it helps to have a love of life, a willingness to try new experiences and an enthusiasm to inspire others.

- Complete child safeguarding training appropriate to their role;
- Undertake required screening and background checks, including a valid Blue card and National Police Check;
