The Volunteer Program provides members of the SBFV with the opportunity to gain some work experience by taking a hands-on approach to tasks. Tasks include event organisation, mail distribution, administration assistance and fundraising. By donating their time and skills for such support, members are able to further develop their abilities and possibly acquire new ones. The SBFV hopes to foster increased independence in its members through this program.

During the past few years, the SBFV has organised fun-filled camps for families who have children living with spina bifida. The annual summer camps, most recently held at Phillip Island Adventure Resort, havebeen a great success in providing parents with a chance to share their stories and experiences of raising children with spina bifida. The children and their siblings are given a chance to mingle with each other.
