Volunteer opportunities

Last updated: 20/05/2024
 

The Australiasian University Safety Association (AUSA) provides connection, education and support to professionals working in health, safety and wellbeing roles within Universities, TAFES and research institutions. 

AUSA is a volunteer-led organisation. All of our operations are managed and activities facilitated by our member volunteers. To ensure we can continue to support the vision and values of AUSA, we need a collection of keen and eager volunteers. 

We need you!


Volunteer Benefits 

You can benefit from volunteering in many ways, including:

  • Elevating your personal profile within the profession of health, safety and wellbeing (HSW) within Australasian Universities and allied industries
  • Meeting new people – extending your professional network and connecting with peers who also want to deliver positive impacts for our sector
  • Providing the opportunity to try different tasks or work that you may not get exposure to in your ordinary role – or – Expanding your professional skill set in a setting that you may not have the chance to experience otherwise.
  • Gaining valuable experience and developing new skills which could help you for your next role

Working alongside dedicated professionals who share a passion for creating secure and supportive environments for HSW professionals. If you possess leadership skills, and have a strong desire to make an impact, consider applying for a position on the AUSA Executive Committee.

Together, let's lead the way in championing safety excellence throughout the Australasian tertiary sector.
