Are you keen to support the Oxfam TRAILWALKER cause, but 100km seems a bit much?
Set your sights on the most rewarding role on the trail – become a Trailwalker Volunteer!
Oxfam TRAILWALKER is no mean feat; with over 1030 volunteer shifts filled across the weekend in 2009, it is the volunteers that truly make the event the success it is.
In 2010, we’re aiming to recreate the success of previous years as we launch into the planning stages for our eighth annual event.
The volunteer numbers recruited for Oxfam TRAILWALKER Melbourne 2009 were the largest ever for the event in Australia – we want to challenge our record!
An overwhelming community, corporate and allied health response to our request for volunteers enables us to deliver exceptional service levels to participants. No matter what your skill set or interests, we have a role for you!

All Hands on Deck for Melbourne 2010!
In 2010 we are going to need an even greater level of support from our ever-devoted volunteers.
Young and old, experienced and inexperienced are encouraged to sign up – along with everyone in between!
This year we'd love to encourage members of the local community, bushwalking groups, families and high school* groups to apply – it's a great team-building exercise, with multitudes of benefits!
*please note that all minors must be accompanied by an adult/legal guardian throughout their shift.
