Would you like to help residents living in an Aged Care Facility?
We are looking for friendly volunteers to spend time with aged care residents, help them join in activities or be physically active. You don't need much time to make a difference.
Volunteers play an important role in residents' health and well-being through social support and creating positive experiences. Aged care residents will enjoy spending time with you including chatting about topics of interest, reading and craft activities.
Would you like to know more?
We welcome volunteers in all of our residential aged care facilities.
Visit Western NSW Local Health District page to find the contact details of a facility near you.
Please call the local Health Service Manager to find out more or to register your interest as a volunteer.
