Applicants will need a police check in order to start but this check is free of charge for volunteers as long as they have a letter from the SPCA. We will provide this letter to you once your application has been received either in person or via email. Once we provide this letter, you can access the required Police Criminal Record and Judicial Matters check here
How long it takes to receive a call back from the SPCA will depend on what the current volunteer staffing levels and need at the shelter you’re applying to.
