Find a Service

Volunteers are vital. By volunteering you can contribute to making your community a better place. A place where vulnerable people can receive more help and support.  For UnitingCare Ageing your help enhances the services we provide to older people both in our residential facilities and out in the community.

You can give a very real source of human contact, providing friendship, a sense of value, connection, and bringing brightness and care into an older person's day.

By giving your time freely, you make our older people feel needed and special. There is an unlimited range of activities you can do. An important part of the UnitingCare Ageing Volunteering Program is to match the needs of our residents with the skills and interests of our volunteers. The Volunteer Program can accommodate  whatever your interests are and whatever help you want to provide.  Volunteering activities include; visiting and socialising, transporting, shopping, office support, reading, pastoral care, assisting activities officers, creating therapy programs for groups. The volunteering activity can be defined by you.

At UnitingCare Ageing we value the many ways in which our team of volunteers contribute to and enhance the care experience and well-being of our residents and clients in the community. 

‘Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.’  Leo Buscaglia 1924-98
