Skilled Volunteers Emerge Australia is an organisation that thrives with thanks to the support of our dedicated team of volunteers. As the organisation has grown, the need for skilled volunteers has gained momentum. Skilled volunteers are people who have a specific area of expertise, formed through either work experience or education. Skilled volunteering with Emerge Australia provides an avenue for current professionals, or those no longer working, to make a meaningful difference for people living with ME/CFS. Positions for skilled volunteers will be advertised as they become available, with recruitment following a similar process to that of paid employment. Current opportunities Grant Writer
