Become a Duke of Ed Assessor or Supervisor
The role of an Assessor
Assessors are volunteers who play a crucial role in delivering the Duke of Ed. As an Assessor, you’ll engage with our young Duke of Ed Users, offering them guidance, mentoring and encouragement as they work towards their chosen activity goals.
"Being an assessor was an incredible privilege. It was an opportunity to water the garden of someones life so they have the opportunity to step into more of themselves in the best possible way. What a treat to experience a flourishing garden. Who wouldn't want that? "
Who are our Assessors?
There are more than 60,000 volunteer Assessors currently helping young Australians achieve their Duke of Ed. Assessors are individuals experienced in the activities young people choose for the Duke of Ed, and range from soccer coaches to music teachers, charity organisers and bush care volunteers.
The role of a Supervisor
Supervisors are volunteers who make and implement arrangements to ensure the safety of Duke of Ed Users undertaking their Adventurous Journeys. The Supervisor can be a different person for each Journey, and there can also be more than one Supervisor for each Journey. You can contact your State or Territory office for further information in relation to undertaking Adventurous Journeys.
It is the responsibility of the Duke of Ed Leader, on behalf of their Duke of Ed Centre, to approve Assessors and Supervisors and ensure they are suitable.
All Assessors and Supervisors working with young people under the age of 18 must comply with the State and Territory legislation concerning Working With Children.
