Our community palliative care volunteers bring normality and a piece of the community into the homes of people living with terminal illness in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, who might be isolated, or just want to chat about something other than health for a while. They are there for respite, companionship, sharing a hobby or meeting out for coffee.

Join the Cloud Nine team and help some of the most vulnerable people in our community shine! It can be very hard for people living with terminal illness to take care of the little things we all take for granted: like finding time and feeling well enough to get a haircut. Something as simple as looking well-groomed can make people in this situation feel more like their 'normal' self, and contribute to a sense of wellbeing and reduction in anxiety.

Join Eastern Palliative Care's award-winning volunteer biography team! We are looking for people with typing & editing skills to make a real community impact: helping people who are enduring serious life-limiting illness, to tell their story. Biography volunteers offer the space to reflect on life, and a means to leave tributes or special messages for family. We have helped over 1,700 people in this way and our volunteers tell us they get far more from this work than they give.
