The Program

Having good social connections is essential for all aspects of health, especially as we age.
Red Cross provides a number of aged and community care programs to support people as they age.
Volunteers provide transport, visiting, meals, and welfare calls helping clients strengthen their capacity to participate in community life, maintain or regain independence, and stay living in their own home for longer.
The Opportunity

For this role, you will need the ability to engage with other volunteers and members of the community at face-to-face and online events, including those with different lived experiences, abilities, and cultures, and provide information from and to Red Cross to support our volunteers and their impact in the community.
All volunteers will need to complete a National Criminal Check.
Red Cross will ensure you have training, ongoing support, and access to other opportunities within the world's largest humanitarian network.
The Impact

As a Regional Engagement volunteer, you will help volunteers and communities to support vulnerable people improve their social connection and quality of life by providing a positive and respectful service.
In return, you will have the opportunity to meet many diverse people, as well as feeling the satisfaction of giving back to your community.

Application Requirements

For this role, you will be required to undertake a National Police Check, organized through Red Cross.
