How Can I Get Involved?
“In all things, I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, he said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” Acts 20:35
Volunteer with us
Serving the elderly is a complex proposition.
There is almost no end to the variety of ways in which you can help older people live full and independent lives.
You don’t need any special skills or qualifications to improve the life of an elderly person – just compassion and understanding.
There are two ways to serve the residents at Arete Health Care (Bankstown):
- Become a regular Arete Volunteer – This will require you to attend an orientation program and source a police check. If you would like to become a regular Arete volunteer, please contact Arete Health Care on (02) 9791 9609 between the hours of 9 AM and 5 PM, Monday to Friday.
- Supervised Visitation Sessions are available for volunteers who prefer casual visitations. As this does not require a police check or orientation, these visits are conducted in the common area only, at particular times (listed below).
Although St Maurice and Arete Health Care are grateful for your time and efforts, any volunteers that visit outside of these times will not be admitted.
Supervised Visitation Session times are
Tuesdays 10 AM till 12 PM; and/or
Thursdays 2 PM till 4 PM
If you have any enquiries about volunteering, please contact Arete Health Care on (02) 9791 9609.
