Volunteer with GetUp

We’d love your help!

At the moment, we are looking for help in our Sydney office. We require people who can commit to coming in regularly for at least one day per week over an extended period of time (minimum 3 months). If you are interested, have a look at our list below and please email us with a short intro email about you (feel free to include a CV too if handy) to volunteer@getup.org.au.


Office Admin

GetUp thrives off the help of numerous members who volunteer their time. We need people who can give us a regular day or two a week to help out in our office with a range of administrative tasks specific to their skills or interests. For example, answering the phone, calling members about specific events and opportunities, working with data, or helping plan events. We even have members who assist with accounting and helping keep in touch with donors. If you're based in Sydney and have a regular bit of time on your hands, consider making GetUp part of your week.

PHP Coder

We're on the hunt for PHP gurus! We need volunteers to help out with PHP coding, HTML, upkeep of our site, creation of banners and buttons, data analysis, and even audio and video editing. We'd love people who could give us a regular day a week each week and tackle our web problems.

Archivist/Media Monitor

Interested to monitor GetUp's coverage in the news? Love newspapers? We're looking for someone who can give us an afternoon a week to keep track of GetUp's media presence and archive articles. All the materials are on hand at the office, come once a week and pour over the paper. You'll be the person who knows best the influence GetUp is having in the general media sphere.

Donor Admin

GetUp loves its donors! Come and be part of supporting them. We're looking for people who can give us a regular day a week to help us keep track and thank all those who contribute to making GetUp run.

Parliamentary Submission Writers

Are you experienced in making parliamentary submissions? We write many submissions to government inquiries on a whole range of issues. We are looking to build a pool of gifted writers who love nothing more than fighting it out with words.
We're looking for people who can take a pile of provided synthesised research and on a short time scale could draft submissions in cooperation with the GetUp team. If you have knowledge of parliamentary processes, issues around legislation and governance, and a commitment to building democratic institutions with online technologies then we want you.

We won't be making any submissions in the next few months but if you'd like to be kept on our records to help out when we next do then please get in touch!

- Research on electoral information in States and Territories.
