Help Open The Bible
Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Bible Society Australia. Volunteers are the backbone of Australia’s charity sector.
At BSA our mission is to Open The Bible To All People Everywhere By All Means Possible. We cannot do this on our own. Will you help us and become a Bible Society Australia volunteer?
As a volunteer we will equip you to tell others about Bible Society’s breadth of work and its resources. We are committed to enabling you with information and training to support you as you enthusiastically represent us in your church and community.
We hope that you will join us and become part of Bible Society Australia Volunteers family!

Leigh and Helen
We have run and taken part in an annual Bike for Bibles event in Victoria for many years to raise awareness and funds for Bible mission work, and particularly Bible-based literacy classes. We have served in the church for many years and are passionate about people coming to know Christ; and remain passionate riders who want the Bike for Bibles event to grow as we believe it’s a mission worth riding for.
Daniel
I have been involved as a volunteer in Bible Society events in Geelong, western suburbs of Melbourne, and over Zoom. The work of Bible Society is so important. Having access to the Bible is a huge part of faith and I’m so grateful that I’ve always had access to such an amazing resource. I pray that in the years to come less reached people will have the same opportunity to hear about God’s love and discover for themselves the beauty of a relationship with him. God is simply amazing and together we have a responsibility to share him with our communities.
