Become a Participant
Builds purpose, helps the environment & creates friendships
At EWC, our participants are people with a disability or social or intellectual impairment who take part in dismantling and recycling donated items at one of our workshops.
​
We welcome people of all abilities and believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed in some way.
​
We are also an NDIS Registered Service Provider under the Capacity Building - Social Community and Civic Participation category.
​​
​To help cover our costs, we charge our NDIS participants an attendance fee of $105 per 3 hour session if they come independently. If a participant attends with a support worker to facilitate access to the program, the fee is $75 per session.​

Become a Volunteer
Happiness comes from helping others
At EWC, a volunteer is someone who volunteers their time to help supervise and assist the participants and staff in our workshops.
​
A volunteer will also enjoy social interaction or assist with sorting / testing / refurbishing donated items.
​
No previous experience is required to volunteer at EWC - you just need to have a positive attitude and be ready to help our participants recycle ewaste while having fun.
​
If you are over 18 years old, volunteers need to obtain a free NDIS worker screening clearance (Government issued Blue and Yellow cards).
​​
If you are 15 years old or under, you must be accompanied by a responsible adult or guardian 18 years or older at all times.
