For people who’ve had difficult experiences with health services, having a familiar, non‑judgemental nurse makes a real difference.
Trust helps people seek care earlier — and stick with it.

This National Volunteer Week we say thank you to our incredible UnitingCare volunteer family. Quite simply, we couldn’t do what we do without you.

Over the past year at UnitingCare, 9340 volunteers contributed more than 1.26 million hours of compassion, connection and care across our services. Every hour represents lives touched; a conversation, a moment of comfort, a reminder that no one is alone.

As one volunteer reminds us why it matters: “Knowing you’ve made a difference and helped someone consider life again - that’s everything”, another touchingly shares the benefits of giving back: “Volunteering has helped me grow into the person I hoped to become.”

That’s the power of volunteering. In fact, 74% of our volunteers say it’s had a positive impact on their lives, while 94% believe they are making a meaningful difference in the community.

To every volunteer: thank you for your time, your heart and your humanity. You are the beating heart of our organisation.

If you’ve ever thought about volunteering, now is the time.
