Mount Barker, Australia Southern Cross Care (SA, NT & VIC) Inc Full time

All dog owners know about the happiness and connection that dogs bring into our lives. Dogs encourage touch, conversation, laughter and friendship among all ages and classes of people. Or at other times, they provide just quiet companionship.

Research studies over many years have shown real benefits of canine companionship particularly to people living in aged care in promoting happiness and improved health outcomes.

Become a volunteer and visit our residents with your dog. It's an easy and rewarding way to bring excitement and joy into the lives of older people.

**Time commitment**

This position is available on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday
