Rail Trails Australia is run by passionate volunteers who use their skills to make rail trails more accessible and available to all. If you are thinking about volunteering – consider joining us for a chance to connect with and work alongside other volunteers, share your ideas to promote rail trails, and make a contribution to a worthwhile cause.
We are open to volunteers with a range of backgrounds and skill sets – including copywriters and editors, website designers, graphic designers, economic analysts and photographers. As a national organisation we rely on regional representatives and are also looking for people active in their region who can help build connections.
We are holding a Volunteer Information Session in Melbourne on Saturday 6 July. Current volunteers will share their experiences in more depth and answer your questions.

👋. I would like to know more about volunteering. No skills in copywriting, editing and the like. And when in comes to writing, totally avoid it like the plague. I do enjoy getting my hands dirty, contributing to building cycle ways would be of interest. Currently I am semi retired Strata Manager. Past experiences. Motor mechanic, engineer. But that was many moon ago. But , why you may ask would I be interested in Rail Trails ,mmm. Good question. …. Am a Cycling 🚴♀️ Junkie that totally enjoy long distances to meditate. Yep , that’s me. John Walker born 1954. And live at Ryde
