Volunteer at the Memorial

The Australian War Memorial has nearly 300 volunteers actively contributing to its mission. They assist in a wide variety of roles, both at the front-of-house and behind the scenes. Our volunteers vary in ages and backgrounds, and all have an enjoyment interacting with visitors and sharing the stories of our nation.
