About us

In Great Company is a volunteer program designed to connect people in need of support and social connection with caring, friendly, and enthusiastic volunteers.

In Great Company was born out of a need for a service that puts you first and creates a real difference in the lives of people and those volunteering their time to give back.

We believe that the wait for aged care services should be made easier with a little help along the way, and our volunteers can give you just that.

Our volunteer program includes a huge variety of services designed to benefit both our friendly volunteers and our amazing clients. It's not always easy to ask a friend to lend a hand - but we believe in the power of connection and the compassion of everyone involved with In Great Company.
