Dedicated volunteers have been supporting Silver Chain, our clients and staff throughout our history.  Our trained volunteers enhance the quality of service we provide to people and their families through a range of activities including:

  • Providing carer respite.
  • Providing companionship, conversation and support .
  • Assisting at special events, and promotions and general fundraising

We are currently recruiting volunteers for Blue Skies. Recruitment closes Thursday, 1 July 2010. For more information please contact Brad McKay, Team Leader Volunteer Services on 9242 0242 or volunteer@silverchain.org.au for further details.

We have over 400 volunteers working with us, more than half of whom help our clients and families in country and remote locations.  Demand for the invaluable support of volunteers is constant.  Our volunteers benefit from:

  • Helpful and interesting ongoing education.
  • Support and feedback.
  • The great value of being a team member and being appreciated.
  • Eligibility to be reimbursed for all out of pocket expenses incurred.
  • Training, orientation and continual encouragement.
  • The chance to meet lots of great people!
No special skills are required you just need to be a caring person with some time to help those in need in your community.  Silver Chain regards its volunteers as an integral part of the organisation and values the individuality of all people.
