You can help older Australians just by visiting them in their own homes or in aged care facilities and hospitals – or helping with shopping, gardening or a day trip out.
Engaging with older Australians is a great way to enjoy social interaction and find out about the fascinating experiences of an older generation and, often, to hear the stories of your local area.
Volunteers can get involved in activities such as cooking, driving, housework, home maintenance, gardening, pet care, shopping, or simply providing companionship at home or visiting older people in hospital.
