🌟 IMPROVING SOCIAL CONNECTIONS - VOLUNTEER WITH US! 🌟
Do you enjoy a chat over a cup of tea or coffee? Love playing games like Scrabble or chess? Want to make a real difference in someone’s life?
St John Ambulance QLD is taking a fresh approach to tackling isolation among older members of our community — and we need YOU to help!
We’re building a hands-on, diverse team of volunteers who are passionate about connection, laughter, and simply being there for someone who needs a friend. Many older people in our community experience loneliness — a friendly face, a listening ear, and a little company can make all the difference.
Opportunities Available:
✅Community Visiting: Spend 1 hour every fortnight visiting an elderly resident at a local aged care facility. Enjoy conversation, puzzles, crafts, music, or simply share a few laughs together.
✅Friendship Calls: Commit just 30 minutes a week to make a phone call that brightens someone’s day.
✅Security Calls: Provide peace of mind with a quick 5-minute check-in each day.
✅Multilingual Volunteers: If you speak another language, your skills are especially valuable to help connect with diverse members of our community.
Whether you’re a student looking for community engagement experience in Brisbane, a retiree, or simply someone with a big heart — your time can make a huge impact. And with flexible commitment starting from as little as 1 hour a fortnight, it’s easy to get involved!
All you need is a warm smile, a listening ear, and a passion for making a difference.
Together, let’s bring connection and joy to those who need it most.
Commitment required: 1 hour weekly or fortnightly
Days: Monday to Friday
Hours: various hours between 7.00am - 5pm
Location: Statewide
All volunteers must be over 18 and must have their COVID Booster vaccination.
🌟Love driving? Love helping people? Join our growing Transport Team! 🌟
We are looking for some amazing volunteers to be part of the growing transport team to provide clients with transport to and from their homes to shopping centres. If you are a friendly and caring person and would like the opportunity to connect with people AND you love driving, this role is just for you!
As a St John Qld Community Transport driver, your role will be to provide an amazing transport journey to our clients as they move around their local community. Many of our clients are aging and often love the interaction with our drivers and the door-to-door service we offer. Trips are often no more than 30 mins and many people are looking to head to a local shopping centre. Our St John team never underestimate the impact of a smile, friendly chat and helping someone in and out of a vehicle – this can often be the only interaction they have all week.
Benefits for volunteering with one of Australia’s leading not-for profit transport providers:
Full induction, orientation and specific training will be provided. Queensland Transport Restricted Driver Authorisation and NDIS Worker Screening will be required (we can support you with this) as well as an Australian open licence for the past 3 years.
