Discovery is a not-for-profit community enterprise powered by curiosity, creativity, and people who believe learning should be hands-on and fun. From working with schools during the week to welcoming families on weekends, our team brings science to life through interactive exhibits, the iconic Vertical Slide, and the Bendigo Planetarium.
We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and strongly encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and anyone who brings different perspectives and lived experience to our work.
If you are passionate about inspiring curiosity and making science accessible for all, we would love to hear from you.
Volunteering at Discovery is a fun and meaningful way to be part of our science community. Whether you love helping visitors, supporting school groups or getting hands on behind the scenes, there is a place for you here. Join us and help spark curiosity in the next generation.
