Become a Volunteer Today
If it takes a village to raise a child, then it takes a league of everyday superheroes to support a sick child and their family. The definition of a superhero is: ‘a morally righteous person who possesses extraordinary abilities and uses them for the greater good’. By this definition, our Volunteers at RMHC North Australia are the greatest superheroes there are.
