STAR Community Services is an award-winning not-for-profit organisation providing a range of aged care services including Home Care Packages, NDIS and disability support services since 1996. We are currently servicing Redlands, Ipswich, Logan, Darling Downs and Gold Coast.

We are seeking kind, caring and happy volunteers to help add a little sparkle to the lives of isolated and lonely older people.

By sharing one hour per fortnight with a new friend you can make a difference. Through friendship visits you will help an older person in your community feel more valued, connected and improve their quality of life by:

• Creating a sense of belonging
• Having fun together and increasing social connections
• Enhancing overall health and mental wellbeing
• Supporting participation and connection with local community.

Some activities you could enjoy together with your new friend include:

• Cooking a favourite meal or exploring recipes
• Going for an outing in the community
• Playing games such as board games, chess and cards
• Arts and crafts
• Simply enjoy a cuppa and chat.

All it takes is a one-hour commitment per fortnight to truly make a difference.

This role offers:

• Flexibility to fit around your existing commitments and schedules
• A supportive and friendly volunteer environment
• Incredible recognition program
• A very rewarding experience.

Join STAR to make new friends and experience the rich and diverse personalities of our senior residents.
