One Hour. One Person. Real Connection.
Many older people living in residential aged care miss having someone who visits just because they care.
Through Wesley Aged Care Volunteer Visitors, you can spend just one hour a week building a genuine friendship with an older person who may be experiencing loneliness or social isolation.
You will be thoughtfully matched with someone who shares similar interests, hobbies or life experiences. Over time, a simple conversation can grow into a meaningful connection built on trust, companionship and shared stories.
Whether you're chatting over a cup of tea, sharing a laugh, reminiscing about local places or simply enjoying each other's company, your visits can become something they genuinely look forward to.
The best friendships often begin with a simple conversation.
We are looking for kind, reliable volunteers who can commit to regular visits and enjoy getting to know someone over time. No special skills or experience are required. Just a willingness to listen, share stories and be a friendly face.
As a Wesley volunteer, you'll receive:
- Ongoing support from your Wesley Volunteer Coordinator
- A carefully considered match with a resident
- Training and guidance to help you get started
- Invitations to volunteer recognition and celebration events
If you can spare an hour a week, or an hour a fortnight, we'd love to hear from you.
Help turn an ordinary afternoon into the highlight of someone's week.
