About our Volunteer Program

Our volunteers are integral to the orientation program, social events and sport groups run by the MGA.

As well as keeping the MGA operational, our volunteers are exposed to new experiences and develop skills that will help them in their future careers, including communication, leadership, teamwork and time management.

Volunteering is a great way to meet like-minded people, gain insight into the work we do and give back to the graduate student community.

There are many opportunities to volunteer with the MGA and all current Monash graduate students from all campuses and off-campus locations are eligible to volunteer with us.

"The MGA helped me recover from the pandemic and PhD loneliness through volunteering opportunities and meeting people. They helped me recover from the trauma of experiencing a house burglary through an emergency grant from their MGA Welfare Program. The MGA is forever relevant to grad students at Monash!"

- Sylvia, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences

"Volunteering with MGA has been an incredibly fulfilling experience for me. I feel fortunate to be surrounded by a dedicated and supportive team, as well as other passionate volunteers. The collaborative and friendly atmosphere at MGA has made my volunteer work even more enjoyable. [...] This experience has been incredibly enriching and has provided me with valuable skills, memories, and personal growth.
