The Museum Foundation has approximately 35 volunteers, from all walks of life - retired mechanics, ex-service personnel, current serving members of the ADF and others.

The minimum required age for volunteers is 17 years and we have a few in their 70's still contributing their service, knowledge and expertise to the museum.

Individuals are most welcome to the museum as volunteers. There are no training courses involved; however, on job training by new volunteers will occur over time under the guidance of senior members. There is generally a formal interview process with the Curator prior to new volunteers starting. The contribution made by the volunteers is most welcome and greatly appreciated by the museum.
