Important Information:

This is an Expression of Interest (EOI) only and does not guarantee an immediate volunteer placement.

Our Community Visitor Program operates on a request basis, with volunteers matched to people living with Motor Neurone Disease as needs arise across Queensland. After receiving your EOI, we will keep your details on file and contact you when a suitable match becomes available in your area.

Matching is based on factors such as location, availability, interests, and the preferences and needs of clients.

Share your time, kindness and interests to make a lasting difference in the lives of Queenslanders living with Motor Neurone Disease.

Please note:

Our volunteer personal accident insurance requires volunteers to be at least 12 years old. Children aged 14 and under must attend with a parent.

Insurance coverage is provided up to age 75. Volunteers aged over 75 may still participate but should be aware that insurance coverage is limited.
