- receive appropriate supervision and guidance
- be kept informed of policies, programmes and new developments

Most importantly, you will receive personal satisfaction while helping others.
Essential Volunteer Pre-requisite
As Trust volunteers provide their support and care to mostly elderly people, it is a mandatory requirement that a current Police Clearance is obtained prior to volunteers commencing in their individual. In addition, volunteers born overseas, or those who have lived overseas for a period of time in their adult lives, must complete a simple Statutory Declaration. Our Volunteer Coordinators provide all necessary support to obtain and complete these documents at no cost to the volunteer.
Current Volunteer Opportunities
- An opportunity exists for a volunteer in our Gift Shop on Wednesdays from 10.00-15.00.
