FAQs

What kind of commitment do I need to make?
While our volunteer opportunities are generally flexible in terms of time commitment, we do recommend that you participate in the program at least once a week, so residents know when to expect you and can look forward to your visit.
What are the benefits?
Volunteering in aged care has many benefits, including making new friends and connections, developing new skills, but most importantly, making a difference to people’s lives. Volunteers often say that their lives are enriched by the relationships they build through volunteering in age care.
Do I need any specific requirements to become an aged care volunteer?
We happily accept volunteers from a whole range of ages and backgrounds. The only requirement is that you apply for an NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) Worker Screening Check as part of the application process. When doing this, please make sure you select the ‘Waive Fees’ box.
