Community Volunteer Collective

Volunteering your time, talents and interests with Every Child Central Queensland

Our vision for our children in Central Queensland is to bring about systemic and long-lasting change to health, wellbeing and life outcomes, and to ensure that every child has every chance to reach their full potential.

Every Child CQ does this by working collectively with and in the community for our children. Those who volunteer with Every Child CQ can make a significant contribution to living out this vision according to your skills, interests, attributes and knowledge.

• We are partnering with Hear and Say in their Hear to Learn- Hearing Screening program – a program that provides opportunities for children from 0-5 years to have direct access to hearing screening in their own community.
• We are also partnering with OneGovCQ in the development of a placed-based collective impact initiative, focused on improving outcomes for Central Queensland children.

All phases provide you with opportunities to build relationships with and work with, people from across our region.
