How to volunteer?
Linking individuals with the community
Last year more than 600 Benetas volunteers were involved in a range of activities with older Victorians. Be a part of the Benetas volunteer program so you too can help others.
Volunteering opportunities
There are a variety of different volunteering opportunities available including:
- Community Care volunteer program – support older people living in their own homes by:
- Regularly visiting them and providing companionship
- Walking and monitoring their pets
- Benetas Residential Care (nursing homes) – support older people in one or more of our 12 residential sites with a variety of activities from reading the paper to conducting sing-a-longs.
- Opportunities in Research, People Development, Marketing, Fundraising and Administration.
