Everyone deserves great company – let us match you with a senior so you can make a real difference in your community.

A small amount of your time as a volunteer can make a huge difference to the life of a senior. A helping hand, a listening ear, and a friendly smile can all make a senior feel more socially connected, and inspire them to rekindle life skills and hobbies they once enjoyed. Your company can provide support in remaining independent and connected to community, not to mention sharing many smiles along the way.

In Great Company is a flexible volunteer program, which takes your skills and goal and matches them to a real friend!

Why volunteer with In Great Company?

  • enjoy a chat and a cuppa, and listen to some amazing living histories;

From radio waves to real connections

Sometimes, the most beautiful stories begin with a simple radio broadcast. In Tony’s case, his life took a heart-warming turn when he heard about In Great Company’s volunteer program on his local ABC Radio breakfast show. His connection with Jasmine, a volunteer who visits him every fortnight, has blossomed into a story of new adventures and companionship.
