Hairdresser vols needed to support palliative clients in the community.

EPC (Eastern Palliative Care)

Logo for EPC (Eastern Palliative Care)

EPC provides free, in-home support to people in Melbourne's east* who are getting on with living after a diagnosis of terminal or life-limiting illness, which can significantly restrict their ability to access their regular social supports, their job, hobbies, etc. And that's where our volunteers come in.

Our Cloud Nine team is seeking volunteers with hairdressing experience (at least 2 years) who are retired, or have some free time once a week, to offer a haircut and blow dry or facial hair grooming (no shaves) in the homes of people with a terminal illness, living across Melbourne's eastern suburbs.

We ask our clients to be able to sit up in a chair, wash their hair before the volunteer visits and provide towels (there is no heavy lifting or handling involved).

We offer a lot of support, training, mentoring, networking and ongoing support and have great relationships with all of our 200+ volunteers.

Please contact us on 1300 130 813 for a no-obligation chat.

  • NOTE: the region we support includes Boroondara, Whitehorse, Knox, Manningham, Monash, Maroondah and Yarra Ranges, and our volunteers visit people living in these areas - so preference is always given to volunteers living in this zone as we don't want people having to travel too far when volunteering with us.
