Advocacy

Volunteer

The Working Women’s Centre SA is made up not just of staff but of an incredible team of volunteers. 

Our volunteer programs allow us to have a greater impact and provide opportunities for volunteers to develop their skills and make a difference on the issues that matter to them.

The Working Women’s Centre has the following volunteer programs:

Law Student Volunteer Program

 

We have commenced our new volunteer program for law students in their final or penultimate year of law school to work with our Client Services Coordinator and Legal Team.

The program is designed to train law student volunteers to undertake client intake and assist the legal team with appropriate legal tasks.

In exchange for their volunteer work, we have committed to provide:

  • Ongoing training in employment law and procedure.
  • Training and experience in client intake, and processes and procedures in a community legal centre.
  • Training in drafting legal letters and forms for tribunals and commissions.
  • Professional development opportunities; and
  • A reference that can be used for future job opportunities.

The law student volunteer program runs for the duration of the university semester and we expect the new intake of volunteers to commence shortly before semester two 2023.

 

Student Placements

 

We partner with educational institutions, most recently the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia, to host students who volunteer for university course credit. Student volunteers from a variety of disciplines volunteer with us on legal and research projects. 

 

Governance


The Working Women’s Centre Management Committee consists entirely of volunteers who have a collective wealth of experience and expertise and are looking to give back to the women’s movement. Our Management Committee members volunteer their time to provide governance and determine the strategic direction of the Working Women’s Centre.
