Current Volunteer Opportunities

We offer a variety of rewarding volunteer roles to suit different interests, skills, and availability.

Community Transport Volunteers

Driver and Jockey Roles Available

Support community members to access medical appointments, social activities, and essential services. Along the way, you'll provide a friendly face, a listening ear, and a vital connection to the community. Vehicles available can inculde a BHN standard fleet car, minibus or your own vehicle if you choose!

Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS)

Provide companionship and social connection to older people who may be experiencing loneliness or isolation. A regular visit, phone call, or shared activity can make a meaningful difference in someone's life and sense of belonging.
