MS Queensland

Those who donate their time to MS Australia - QLD as volunteers are the lifeblood of the organisation. Whether providing one-on-one assistance to a person with MS or helping at one of our fundraising events, our many services and activities rely on passionate volunteers.

Our volunteers work across two key areas; providing fundraising and events support, and assisting people in the community living with MS. When registering to volunteer with the Society, each volunteer is given a choice as to how they would like to assist the organisation.  They are then matched to tasks based on their preferences and abilities.

As a fundraising and events support volunteer, all volunteers are given specific training, briefing notes and verbal briefings on the date of the event by either an MS staff member or team leader volunteer. Their work includes on-course marshalling, assisting with registrations, managing merchandise, manning drinks stations, pre and post event packing and collating of materials.

Our community services volunteers generally provide regular on-going support, often on a weekly or fortnightly basis. Volunteers increase client social support through activities such as visiting places of interest, shopping, or simply sharing a discussion or a craft. We also offer a range of other activities including pottery classes, exercise and stretching support. These activities can take place in the client’s private home, the MS residential complexes or the general community. All community services volunteers  have a security check and receive appropriate training to support them in their role of visiting with people living with MS in the community.
