- Events
RDAV needs you to satisfy a few requirements before joining the team, including:
Age—You must be at least 12 years of age.
Checks—All volunteers aged 18 or over must have a Working with Children Check (checks are free for volunteers and forms are available online)
Commitment—Volunteers commit to regular sessions so that every centre can plan consistent programs, animal care and administration.
