Volunteers, Visitors & Contractors

At WestMAC, our volunteers play a valued and meaningful role in College life. Whether it’s helping out at events, supporting classroom activities or lending a hand behind the scenes, our volunteers strengthen the sense of connection that makes our community so special. To ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students, there are a few important student protection guidelines we need our volunteers to adhere to. This helps us meet our legal responsibilities and ensures we can uphold the supportive, secure environment we’re proud to provide. 

How to get started

Complete our Volunteer, Visitor and Contractor Registration form below to complete your training, acknowledgement of student protection, Work Health & Safety and Code of Conduct. If you have any questions regarding the registration process and induction, contact our People and Culture Team by emailing wwc@wmac.com.au 

Requirements and obligations

Before volunteering, all parents, carers and community members must complete training and formally acknowledge our student protection and safety protocols. Once completed, you’ll be registered as an official College volunteer and added to our Employee and Volunteer Register. Each year, you’ll be required to update your student protection training to ensure compliance with child-safe legislation. Please note that non-parent volunteers, such as grandparents or family friends, are also required to hold a valid Blue Card or Exemption Card. 

All staff, volunteers and visitors have a legal and moral obligation to report any reasonable suspicions of harm or sexual abuse involving a student. Our College’s policies, procedures and Child and Youth Risk Management Strategy are in place to guide and support you in this responsibility.
