Volunteering
in Aged Care

Want to make a difference?
Volunteer in Aged Care today

Volunteering is an equally rewarding experience for the people we support and for our volunteers.

Your time and companionship can bring joy and comfort to the lives of children, families and individuals in need, as well as brighten the days of older South Australians.

In return you may learn valuable life lessons and gain a deeper appreciation of the unique challenges people are experiencing, while feeling more connected to your community. Our volunteer opportunities are rewarding, flexible, and offer the chance to make a positive impact in the lives of South Australians.

Offer your skills to volunteer in aged care, community programs or one of our outreach centres.

Together we can improve lives.

You can volunteer at UnitingSA to meet your mutual obligation or participation requirements, sometimes known as Work for the Dole, as part of your Job Plan set out by the Federal Government through the Centrelink program.
