The Centre recruits volunteer lawyers, law students and graduates across Australia to undertake a variety of tasks in support of the Centre's general advocacy for and on behalf of, children and young people. As a national Centre, volunteers work on-site in Sydney, and off-site.
As an on-site volunteer, you will be involved in a variety of tasks, depending on Centre priorities at the time and the volunteer's own predilections. These tasks include:
The NCYLC has developed a comprehensive program for off-site volunteers. A website has been developed which plays a strategic role in facilitating the national Cyber Volunteer Program (CVP) - a program specifically for those volunteers who will not be based at the Sydney office. The program is managed by the CVP Coordinator Sarah Winter and involves volunteer lawyers across all States and Territories. The program is part of the Centre's commitment to providing a truly national service to children and young people.
We encourage those interested in becoming a cyber volunteer to contact the Centre for registration information. For more information about volunteering either at the Sydney office or via the CVP, please contact the Centre on (02) 9385 9588 or email volunteers@ncylc.org.au
April 2004: We currently have sufficient NSW volunteer lawyers. If you are a lawyer in the ACT, NT, Qld, SA, Tas, Vic or WA and are interesting in becoming a Cyber Volunteer, please contact us.
