Since 1957, volunteers have been the heart of BASSCARE. What began with a small group in Boroondara has grown into a community whose generosity still shapes us today. Their spirit shows how compassion and imagination can turn the everyday into something extraordinary.
Now, we invite you to be part of that story. Whether it’s through Meals on Wheels volunteering in Melbourne, assisting with an exercise class, or supporting daily programs, every act of kindness brings connection and joy to our residents and clients.
“As an aged care volunteer, even a simple smile, a chat or a meal delivered with care can spark joy and offer reassurance”

Volunteers have shaped our journey from the beginning. Today, your gift can help write the next chapter. Opportunities include:

Current Volunteer Opportunities
At BASSCARE, volunteering is about giving — and receiving. It’s the joy of friendship, the spark of purpose and the quiet magic of being part of something bigger.
BASSCARE acknowledges the traditional owners as the original custodians of this land, and respects their customs and traditions and their special relationship with the land.
