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 volunteers are placed 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 will have the opportunity to build new connections and positive relationships with someone who will greatly appreciate your company. Activities may include having coffee, going on outings, reading together, listening to music, playing games, etc.

Research has shown that volunteering not only benefits those served but also enhances the mental health and wellbeing of volunteers. A 2016 study by Volunteering Australia found that 93% of volunteers reported increased happiness, and 79% reported improved mental health.

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 have someone to talk to and share stories with. They always bring a smile to my face and make me feel less lonely."

Many seniors in our community experience social isolation, which can lead to loneliness and depression. By volunteering your time to visit them, you will brighten their day and provide much-needed companionship.

Affectionately called our 'friendship program,' we match volunteers with seniors who share similar interests, so you can connect over shared hobbies, books, or movies. You'll have the chance to hear fascinating stories and gain insights from people with a wealth of life experience.

What we offer you :

  • Training and regular check-ins.
  • Flexibility to volunteer on a day and at a time that suits you.

What we require from our volunteers :

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

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