Spread Joy by Joining Our Volunteer Team!
The HammondCare Volunteer Program is a beautiful way to make a meaningful difference in the life of an older person, right here in the Illawarra.
From sport to art, pets to gardening, walking to yoga, baking to craft, movies to music, coffee to crosswords… whatever you love, you can share it with someone who loves it too.
As a Volunteer Social Visitor, you’ll offer companionship and warm, meaningful social interaction to older people living in a residential care home. Spend time connecting one‑on‑one or enjoying small group activities that brighten someone’s day.
Your presence can bring joy, comfort, and a sense of belonging — and that’s a truly special gift!
Your impact
Volunteering can be a rewarding experience, both for the people you interact with as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.
