Support our community through our volunteer program

About uVolunteer

As part of our commitment to supporting our communities we encourage team member to volunteer in their community. You can volunteer as a team or individually.

Every team member in our organisation can access one day of volunteer time each calendar year to participate in and support a meaningful cause.

Current opportunities

There are currently no volunteer activities with our community groups and partners so we urge you and your teams to support a cause you're passionate about and organise this activity by yourselves.

We encourage you to contact the community group, work out how they might need some help and organise the day and time to attend.

For example, you may want to rally a team up to support your child's community soccer team by painting a club room or you might want to get volunteers to assist a sausage sizzle to raise funds for a not for profit community group that's important to you.

uVolunteer steps:

1. Ensure the volunteer initiative supports the communities we serve in Moreton Bay, Noosa or Sunshine Coast.

2. Please gain your leader's approval.

3. Contact the community group, work out how they might need help and arrange the day and time to attend.

3. Record your volunteer hours in Tech One under volunteer leave.

4. A risk assessment will need to be completed prior to the event and added to Intelex (the community or safety team will guide you on this)

5. If the event involves working with children, a Blue Card will be required (see FAQs on the right)

6. Reach out to the Community team if you need a uVolunteer t-shirt at community@unitywater.com.

7. Have fun and take photos of the team to help us encourage more people to get involved. Send them to community@unitywater.com and we can add them to this page.

Using your skills

Often community groups need help with building capabilities, our people (you) have some amazing skills and expertise that you can share with these groups. Ranging from:

  • Our people services teams providing support with vulnerable people finding employment through writing a good resume, or sharing interview advice.
  • Our communications and engagement team might help an organisation write strong grant applications, or provide advice on sharing their story through helping develop a social media strategy.
  • A person or a team in our organisation may have awesome excel skills and might like to run an excel skills drop in session at the local Men's Shed...the list goes on.
  • You might be into sport, crafts, baking or gardening, there may be a refuge or a group looking for someone to share these skills with them.
