Did you know, 18.4% of residents based in the Shire of Mundaring report doing some form of voluntary work. This is higher than Perth’s Eastern Region and the greater Perth Region. Volunteers help to hold the fabric of our community together. Volunteering your time willingly, is an invaluable contribution of your work skills and life experience. Without the commitment of volunteers, many local organisations, events and services would cease to function.
