GDVRS Service Transition

The Greater Dandenong Volunteer Resource Service (GDVRS) is currently transitioning to a new provider.

Before we look ahead, we would like to sincerely thank South East Volunteers (SEV) for their commitment to delivering this service since it launched in 2015. Over many years, SEV has played an important role in supporting our community volunteers with meaningful opportunities and supporting community participation throughout Greater Dandenong.

From October 2026, this service will be delivered by Dandenong Community and Learning Centre (DCLC), continuing its important role in supporting volunteering, strengthening community connections and growing opportunities in Greater Dandenong.

Thank you for your continued interest in volunteering. We look forward to continuing to support volunteering and community participation in Greater Dandenong through the Greater Dandenong Volunteer Resource Service.
