MEET THE VOLUNTEERS
The volunteers are the backbone of BICS. Without our loyal and helpful volunteers we would be unable to service our remote community.
We welcome community members to come and join our ranks as volunteers.
Did you know that if you are over 55 and on Centrelink Newstart benefits and you are struggling to find work that you can volunteer at an organisation like ours in place of job searching. Over 55 volunteers work two days a week (15 hours) to fulfil the requirements by Centrelink.
We also have many volunteers from the community who devote anywhere from half a day to days to aid us in our services to the community.
Meet a few of our volunteers below who give of their time generously.
Macleay Island Volunteers
Meet our Macleay Island volunteers who man our office and Op Shop. Macleay provides services to the islanders of a Centrelink booth, office services, emergency relief and consult rooms where various consultants meet the islands needs.
