Make a positive impact on the lives of our elderly in aged care! mecwacare requires volunteers who would like to connect with our dementia residents through conversation, activities and exercises.

Activities may include outings, gentle exercise, entertainers, music, craft, guest speakers, quizzes and discussions.
