Every year, hundreds of dedicated and caring volunteers give up their time to help make Schoolies as safe as possible.
Safer Schoolies volunteers patrol in groups and provide a first point of contact for school leavers and the local community in need.
Our amazing group of 2024 volunteers are ready to help out for this years' response, but if you’re passionate about helping people and forging new friendships register for the Safer Schoolies response in 2025 (the EOI for 2025 will open early next year).
A range of free support for Schoolies is available on the ground during the celebrations on the Gold Coast to help make your experience as safe as possible.
Whether you need a friend to talk to, someone to walk you home, an in-room pancake cook up or first aid, know that there will always be someone available to help you – without judgement.
