Volunteering with CPG

We always need digital volunteers who can work from home and have experience in one or more of the areas listed below.

If your skills don’t match the list, please apply anyway – we’ll do our best to find a useful way you can contribute.

It would be helpful if you have a prior background as a volunteer in greyhound rescue or in related areas of animal welfare. 

Please note CPG is not registered with Centrelink, so cannot provide volunteering which satisfies their requirements.
