WA Leavers Volunteer Application Form

Before you begin your application, please ensure you are aware of the following details...

What: Volunteers will work on the Be a Mermate campaign and be responsible for assisting with the delivery of drowning prevention messages, facilitating diversionary activities, and helping run Meelup BeachFest.

When: Saturday 21st November to Friday 27th November 2026. (Please note this may be during the exam period for some universities).

Where: Dunsborough and Busselton, Western Australia (transport to and from covered by us).

Why: Volunteering for the Be a Mermate campaign provides hands-on experience in health promotion and event coordination that has a meaningful impact. You'll meet your fellow team members, develop valuable skills, gain leadership experience and enhance your resume – all while having your food, travel and accommodation covered by Royal Life Saving WA.

Please note – given the high interest in our volunteer roles, we might not be able to offer a position to everyone. We're grateful for your enthusiasm and encourage you to continue applying!

Successful Applicants:

Successful applicants will need to attend 2-3 of our engaging training sessions/get-togethers before Leavers, where you'll meet your fellow team members, learn all about your role and what to expect, as well as some basic first aid and harm reduction strategies for alcohol and other drugs. This preparation is essential for our volunteers and is required to ensure they feel confident and ready for the week!
