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
