Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS)

Funded by the Australian Government, the City is pleased to be part of the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme. This program utilises volunteers to provide social connections for people living in residential aged care facilities within the City of Stirling. These friendly, regular visits from volunteers enable people who are socially isolated, lonely or have no family nearby to enjoy quality social time and create lasting friendships.

If you are interested in becoming part of this program, please contact the City and ask to speak to the Volunteer Services.

Natural environment and conservation volunteers

Do you want to meet like-minded people, be part of a friendly and passionate community and contribute to caring for your local environment?  

Conservation Volunteers are members of the community who work closely with the City in the restoration and management of our natural areas. Conservation Volunteers help with tasks such as planting, weeding, watering, clean-ups and conservation surveys.

We have a number of Conservation Volunteering groups in the City of Stirling. These groups help conserve local bush, wetland and coastal areas. If you would like to become a Conservation Volunteer, register your interest by contacting one of the groups below. Alternatively, if you would like to register your own Conservation Volunteer Group please contact the Natural Areas team via the Customer Enquiry and Feedback Form.

The City of Stirling has teamed up with Murdoch University and the South West Metropolitan Alliance to participate in the "Saving Our Snake Necked Turtle Project".

This project aims to help protect a near-threatened species of Snake Necked Turtle. This wetland dwelling species is increasingly under threat due to lack of suitable nesting habitat, predation, and mortality from road collisions. 

We are seeking expressions of interest for on ground volunteers to help with turtle nesting monitoring and conservation as part of this project. To learn more about this role check out the Turtle Tracker Position Description.

To submit your expression of interest to the Saving Our Snake Necked Turtle Project team, please click the link below.

They will forward your details to the City of Stirling upon successful completion.
