Volunteer for us

From our talented medical team through to administration staff and translators, our amazing volunteers make all of this possible.

For many East Timor Hearts Fund patients, the trip to Australia for surgery is their first overseas experience. A friendly face at the airport or someone to show them around Melbourne makes their experience less stressful. Volunteers assist us with activities such as transporting and supporting patients during their stay. If you can speak Tetum we would especially love to hear from you.

Our volunteers also travel with our volunteer medical team to Timor-Leste to assist with our screening clinics, undertaking tasks including administration and interpreting.

If you would like to register interest in volunteering, please fill in our expression of interest form

You can also join our mailing list to be alerted to when there are volunteer vacancies.

Please note that all volunteers require a current police check and, where relevant, a Working With Children Check.

Your legacy for life

Leave a gift in your will

On any given day, thousands of daughters, sons, brothers, sisters, mums and dads are living with preventable life-threatening heart disease in Timor- Leste.

By including a gift to East Timor Hearts Fund in your will, you can leave a legacy that changes the life of an individual, a community and a country.

Your gift can help us mend more broken hearts, and support our research, prevention and education projects that aim to tackle the root causes of poor heart health in Timor-Leste.

When planning for your future, we encourage you  to consider your family and loved ones first. There are many ways of including a gift in your will. To find out how you can leave a legacy for life, click here.

We cannot provide you with legal advice, so please make sure you obtain your own independent advice.

If you have any questions about leaving a gift in your will or simply wish to notify us of your intentions, we encourage you to get in touch. We welcome the opportunity to thank you and share with you our plans for the future.

Create a free, legally binding will

Having an up-to-date Will is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family, regardless of how much you own – however 70% of adult Australians still don’t have a Will. Our supporters often ask how they can include a charity in their Will. This is why we have partnered with Gathered Here, a leading Australian online Will-writing platform. Gathered here offer our valued supporters a free, legally binding Will, which would normally cost hundreds of dollars. Thanks to this technology, thousands more Australians have been able to write a Will within the comfort of their own home, in just 10 minutes.
