Become a Volunteer

What are the benefits of becoming a volunteer?
Volunteers form a vital connection between Baptistcare care recipients and the wider community. Giving the gift of your time can be incredibly rewarding, and helps ensure that the work of Baptistcare can continue.

Volunteering is a wonderful way to:

Make a difference to the lives of others and to give back to your community
Develop new skills
Gain valuable work experience if you are between jobs
Find out if a career in Aged Care would suit you
Gain practical experience to enhance tertiary study in Aged Care or Allied Health
Keep active after retirement

What sort of activities would I be involved in as a volunteer?

Volunteering activities vary and may include: 

Reading and talking with residents 
Indoor and outdoor activities
Board games 
Entertainment – volunteers are encouraged to share their musical talents
Companionship

Where can I volunteer?

Baptistcare has the need for volunteers at various sites and services in areas such as Albany, Gwelup, Byford, Rockingham, Salter Point, Manjimup, Lesmurdie, Busselton, Bassendean, Mandurah, Pinjarra, Morley, Fremantle and other metropolitan areas. We also run a Community Visitors Scheme that matches volunteers with residents in Residential Aged Care Facilities as part of a national Government initiative.
