Friendship Volunteer

Change a life in just one hour, once a fortnight.

Are you looking for a rewarding way to give back to your community?

We're looking for caring and compassionate volunteers to join our Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) and provide friendship and companionship to older people who may be experiencing social isolation.

Sometimes, the greatest gift you can give is simply your time. A friendly conversation, a shared cup of tea, a walk in the garden, or a game of cards can make a world of difference to someone's day.

Why Volunteer with MultiLink?

Flexible to suit your lifestyle – You and your client decide when to meet, making it easy to fit volunteering around work, family, or other commitments.

Minimal time commitment – Just one hour, every fortnight can have a lasting impact.

Build meaningful connections – Form genuine friendships and hear incredible life stories from older Australians.

Make a real difference – Help reduce loneliness and improve the wellbeing of someone in your local community.

What you will do:

As an Friendship Volunteer, you'll spend quality time with an older person through activities such as:

• Sharing a coffee or cup of tea
• Having a chat
• Going for a gentle walk
• Playing board or card games
• Reading together
• Listening to music
• Sharing hobbies and interests

Every friendship is unique, and visits are tailored to your shared interests.

What we are looking for:

You don't need any previous experience, just a warm heart and a willingness to connect.

We welcome volunteers who are:

• Friendly, reliable and compassionate
• Good listeners
• Aged 18 years or over
• Able to commit to one-hour visits twice each month
• Willing to complete the required screening and onboarding process
• We require a police check, don't have one? That's fine, we will pay and organise one for you!

Join Us

If you'd like to make a genuine difference in someone's life while creating a meaningful connection of your own, we'd love to hear from you.

One hour. Every Fortnight. A friendship that could last a lifetime.

Apply today and help bring companionship, conversation and connection to an older person in your community.
