Are you looking to make a difference in the lives of others? Can you spare just an hour a fortnight? We're seeking volunteers for our Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme, where we match volunteers with seniors who are lonely and seeking companionship.

As a volunteer, you will support seniors in an Aged Care facility or their own home to help improve their quality of life. You can build new connections and positive relationships by spending time having coffee, going on outings, reading together, listening to music, playing games, etc.

Nothing is more rewarding than touching the lives of those less fortunate. Research shows that volunteering can boost happiness and mental health. A 2016 study by Volunteering Australia found that 93% of volunteers reported increased happiness, and 79% saw mental health improvements.

Testimonial

"Being alone all the time can be tough, but having a volunteer visit me has made a world of difference. It's so nice to talk and share stories. They always bring a smile and make me feel less lonely."

Many seniors experience social isolation, leading to loneliness and depression. By volunteering, you can brighten their day and provide much-needed companionship.

Our 'friendship program' matches volunteers with seniors sharing similar interests, allowing connections over books, movies, or hobbies. You'll hear fascinating stories and gain insights from their life experiences.

What We Offer You

  • Training and regular check-ins
  • Flexible volunteering times that suit you

What we require from our volunteers:

  • A minimum of one hour per fortnight commitment
  • A desire to spend time with seniors in your community
  • A warm and friendly communication style and reliability
  • Willingness to undergo a Criminal History Check (paid for by us)

Come join us and make a meaningful difference in someone's life.
