The Pirate Party is a party of activists. We are all volunteers that dedicate our spare time and effort in the fight for civil liberties and promotion of human rights. We are always looking for more enthusiastic and motivated volunteers that are willing to donate some of their own time, expertise and effort to these values.
The following are vacant positions. Some are administrative and some are quite complicated and require in-depth knowledge. There are a raft of different volunteer roles available that all contribute to public awareness, operating efficiency and effectiveness of the Pirate Party in advocating for stronger civil liberties.
Is one of them something you can do? Can you do something that isn’t listed below? Contact us, and let us know. Please note, you must be a member of Pirate Party Australia to be considered for a position.
