Australian Red Cross

Aged and Community Care Services

• Visiting -From a cup of tea in the garden to watching a match at the local sports club, our Visiting program is all about bringing people together to connect and share experiences. We’ll match you with a local Australian Red Cross volunteer with similar interests. They’ll come to visit you every week or fortnight. These visits can take place at home, in town, or at any other venue that suits you both.

• Telecross - Your volunteer will call you every week or fortnight (you can choose!) for a chat. What you talk about during your Telechat calls is up to you and your matched volunteer.We’ll match you with a volunteer who shares your interests, background, values or culture. You tell us what matters to you, and we’ll do our best to find a volunteer who fits the bill.

• Telechat -  a telephone check-in service that helps you start the day with an act of human connection. Every morning, you’ll receive a phone call from one of our friendly volunteers who’s keen to find out how you are. Telecross operates 365 days a year. 

Aged Care Volunteering- Bring joy and happiness to older Australians

Whether it be a cup of tea and a chat, or the sharing of a story or two, the good work of our volunteers keeps older Australians well connected.

Our volunteers are everyday people, who deliver more than simply essential services, as social connection is what keeps everyone, volunteers and older Australians alike, in good company.

By volunteering with us, you'll find flexibility, a supportive team, and opportunities for personal growth and development. We need motivated people like you to lend a hand. Now’s the time to make a meaningful difference in an older Australian's life.
