Volunteer in aged care
Our Aged Care Volunteer Program
Olivet is supported by the community in the form of a wonderful volunteer program
We are grateful for the generous help provided by those who voluntarily enhance life for many, and around Olivet.
Our volunteer program is an integral part of the way that we provide services to our residents and care recipients; adding that special touch and connection with community.
Volunteers are provided with training as needed in the area that they work.
They are welcomed and work as part of the Olivet team, maintaining confidentiality at all times.
Friendships are often developed and the lives of and residents are enriched, respecting the differing characteristics and abilities of each individual.

Our residents greatly appreciate the services and enthusiasm of our volunteers!
