Spread Joy, by joining our Volunteer Team!

Bring along your good natured pet and spend time chatting with people living in their own homes who may be lonely or socially isolated. You’ll see what a difference your furry friend can make. This role will suit you if you have a small-medium sized pet and you're happy to sit and engage in conversation.

-Roles across Newcastle and Hunter region, Broadmeadow, Belmont, Mereweather, New Lambton, Cardiff, Hamilton, Mayfield and surrounding areas- 

As you're bringing your pet into a care environment with elderly people, we ask that your pet is:

• Calm and gentle in nature
• Up-to-date with vaccinations and treatment of worms and fleas
• Nails should be short and blunt. Freshly cut nails can be sharp if not filed down.
• Dogs should be kept on a lead always

Your impact

Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.

HammondCare is a provider of The Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme funded by the Australian Government and is established to promote links between elderly people and volunteers in their local community.

HammondCare

HammondCare is an independent Christian charity and we're passionate about improving the quality of life for people in need. We have a wonderful group of volunteers that partner with us to enhance the lives of people cared for by HammondCare.
