Volunteers have been a part of Resthaven since 1935. Read about our history here.

‘I started volunteering in aged care because I have this huge music collection and wanted to share this with others who would enjoy this music. Volunteering is an opportunity to revisit this hobby.’ – Jenny, Resthaven Northern Community Services

‘There is something special about volunteering. I can see the difference I am making and feel the difference it makes within myself.’ – Rosie- Resthaven Westbourne Park

‘Working with residents at Resthaven has given me a lift – I feel a lot more confident with people. I’m just loving my role with Resthaven.’ – Roger, Resthaven Marion

Currently seeking volunteer bus drivers:

Bus trips make a huge difference. Aged Care residents and clients enjoy bus outings and would like more trips. Drivers need a LR license, or we will assist with training.
