General

IARC is an organisation with limited funds. Accordingly, the contribution of IARC’s committed and competent volunteers is extremely valuable to our centre and our clients, enabling us to maximize accessibility to our services.

IARC engages around 50 volunteers each year. Our volunteers fall into two broad categories:

  1. Daytime volunteers who assist with administrative, paralegal and/ or research tasks during ordinary business hours (9am to 5pm).
  2. Evening advice volunteers who are qualified and experienced Registered Migration Agents. IARC has recently suspended the evening advice service and will make an announcement via this website when recruitment of volunteer migration agents recommences.

Who can volunteer?

Daytime volunteers.

IARC considers all volunteer applications received for daytime volunteer work, and assesses applications against the needs of the centre at the relevant time. Due to the high volume of applications received, and the limited resources of our centre, it is impossible to respond to all requests received. Rest assured, however, that your application is much appreciated, it will be considered and you will be contacted should a suitable vacancy arise within 3 months of the date your application is received. Further information about how to become an IARC daytime volunteer is available at How to apply – Daytime Volunteers.
