Volunteer Vacancies

Volunteering at TRAMS is designed to be beneficial to both the volunteer and to TRAMS. Volunteers determine the amount of time they wish to spend and the jobs they wish to do.

On arrival Assistance to Humanitarian Entrants

Humanitarian entrants’ on-arrival needs are considerable, and volunteers play a significant role in helping them gain the basic skills necessary to adjust to their new surroundings. A warm welcome and practical assistance with unfamiliar tasks can help new arrivals to settle, particularly when they first arrive in Australia.
