General Information Session - Volunteering

The Melbourne Holocaust Museum (MHM), formerly known as the Jewish Holocaust Centre, is Australia’s largest institution solely dedicated to Holocaust education, research, and remembrance, fostering the values of acceptance and understanding, and preserving the testimonies of our survivors. Established by survivors in 1984, the MHM is now a world-class museum and research center. We hold a wide array of thought-provoking events, and welcome thousands of local and international visitors through our doors. The MHM houses more than 1300 survivor testimonies, and over 12,000 historical artefacts from both the Holocaust, and immediate post-war eras.

We are currently seeking dedicated volunteers to join our esteemed museum in multiple departments. Attend our information session to hear directly from our team managers about the volunteering opportunities available and learn how you can contribute to our dynamic team.

Our volunteer departments are as followed:

Being part of bridging the gap between the captivating stories housed within our collections and the eager minds of the general public.
