Volunteering

Getting involved

Contributing to volunteering is a great way to connect with your community, build social networks, maximise your skills and experience and improve your wellbeing.

Being community owned, volunteering plays an important role at Barossa Village. We recognise the significant contribution of volunteering to the quality and vibrancy of our workplace and the broader Barossa region.

Volunteering is inclusive, attracting people from all walks of life, of varying ages and different skillsets. Our youngest volunteers are primary school aged children, through to high schoolers, people studying to work in aged care and retirees themselves looking to give back to their community.

Where can I volunteer?

Barossa Village is always looking for volunteers to encourage the participation of clients in activities and to nurture their feelings of inclusion and wellbeing.

Volunteering opportunities include:

  • Working independently, one to one with clients
  • Participating in social interaction, working with our Lifestyle team
  • Working outdoors or gardening
  • Transport, helping to drive residents to appointments or Lifestyle Programs

Volunteers are required to have a Flu Vaccination and a Police Check.

Contact Barossa Village to learn about volunteering with us.

UPDATES

Please note:

Barossa Village management asks you to contact reception staff when visiting the Residency regarding reconditions around wearing masks.

The reception staff will also advise if there are any areas where residents have infectious conditions and the precautions that need to be taken to enter these areas.

At the Residency, visiting hours are maintained to 10 am – 12 noon and 1 pm – 5 pm (outside of these hours to be negotiated).

Visiting hours allow residents to have care and services attended to support their dignity.

Thank you for helping us keep our community safe and healthy. We appreciate your support.
