The program
Trauma Teddy is the cuddly face of Australian Red Cross. 2025 is the 35th Birthday of Trauma Teddy in Australia. Knitted by Red Cross volunteers all over Australia, these woollen teddies are given freely to children and adults needing comfort or gentle distraction during traumatic events. The Trauma Teddies are delivered to hospitals, fire stations, ambulance stations, community health centres and are utilised by our Emergency Services teams in relief and recovery centres all over Australia.

The opportunity
Join us onsite at our office in the Docklands on Thursday mornings from 10am to assist the Trauma Teddy Team to quality control the knitted teddies received from our volunteers. You don't necessarily have to know how to knit. If you have reasonable sewing skill you will be able to help 'fix or repair' the teddies so they are ready for distribution.

The impact
As a volunteer with the Trauma Teddy Team, you will help support vulnerable people to feel safe and comfortable during difficult times. Thousands of Trauma Teddies are distributed across Australia every year, and you can help to make sure they meet the quality standards of Australian Red Cross.
