Volunteer with us

Whether you’re a skilled handyperson, occasional tinkerer or someone who just wants to help out, there’s a place for you on the Toolbox team

The Toolbox is a volunteer-run organisation, so we’re on the lookout for volunteers!

We are looking for:

  • Toolbox assistants: to operate the library

  • DIY experts: to give advice to members

  • Handypeople: to check and repair non-electrical items

All volunteers will need to obtain a Working With Vulnerable People Card - this is free and available through Access Canberra.

Earn Free Membership

Volunteers can earn free extensions on their tool library membership. Here’s how it works…

When a volunteer has contributed 30 or more ‘in-Toolbox’ hours in the prior 12 months (about one shift a month), their membership will be extended for 6 months. We will look at your hours in the 12 months prior to your membership expiration date.

If you’re non-member volunteer, you can earn 6 months’ membership as soon as you have volunteered 30 hours in a 12-month period.
