I'm in need of more volunteers for a 140 bed aged care facility and was wondering where is the best place to source volunteer?. I'm located in Brisbane Queensland. Thanking you in advance.

Hi Skye, do you have a local university or senior center nearby? Students and retirees often make great volunteers because they have flexibility in their schedule and more time to dedicate! We also put flyers in places and our social media pages, and once we got the word out that we were looking, we had several people call us.
Golden Carers is a wonderful resource. I really like the idea that more of it is going to be in video format as this grabs my participant's attention! Even after 20 years in the activity director role, the ideas in Golden Carers are often refreshingly innovative and really useful, even on the fly. Your help is invaluable! Many thanks!
