Temple Cleaning
Our temple is cleaned regularly, and we would love to have volunteers to help us do the regular or special cleanups. It is also said that one who cleans the temple simultaneously also cleans one’s heart of the karmic impressions from millions of lifetimes.
If you’d like to help with temple cleaning services, please sign up below.
Sunday School
Sunday School has been formed with the idea of enlightening young minds with spiritual topics. It is said in the Srimad-Bhagavatam that right from a very young age children should be raised and trained in spiritual knowledge. The second aim of the school is to make the classes fun and interesting so that the children will want to come to class each week.
Women's Ministry
Through networking with each other in real time and on social media and receiving support on many levels from multiple platforms, such as our women’s representatives, the temple authorities and each other, the women of our community always stand as a powerful voice in ISKCON Sydney.
Crowd Management & Security
With tens of thousands of people attending the temple programs on Festival days, we need the help of able Crowd Management personnel to ensure no corridors are blocked and that the traffic flows smoothly through the temple. If you’d like to help out with Crowd Management, please sign up here.
Serving Food(Prasadam)
We require volunteers to help serve the Sunday Feast every Sunday, along with volunteers during the week and on festival days. If you’re interested in helping with the setup, logistics and serving of the free sanctified food (prasadam), please sign up below!

ISKCON Sydney is home to Their most beautiful Lordships, Sri Sri Radha-Gopinatha, and is a wonderful spiritual oasis in an otherwise materially surcharged city of Sydney. Dedicated to the spiritual upliftment of society, our community of both resident and non-resident volunteers lovingly serve either physically at the Temple or from outside to ensure that activities at the Temple run smoothly.
Our vibrant community of volunteers serve in diverse areas including administration, book distribution, deity worship, devotee care, food distribution, harinama sankirtana, kitchen services, maintenance, outreach, visitor care and, of course, the many events and festivals that we hold throughout the year!
Within each area, our volunteers come together bringing their unique skills and talents and work together for the pleasure of Their Lordships.
