Hi my name is Lorraine and I am 66 years old. I would like to become a volunteer. My expertise is mainly office administration, but will be happy to have a try at most things.
Hi Lorraine,
Thank you for visiting our website and for being interested in volunteering. There are certainly opportunities to utilise your office administration skills or to try new volunteer roles.
I’ve forwarded your details to our volunteer services team who will arrange an interview to discuss volunteer opportunities.
Thanks,
Alex
I was once a volunteer driver with Eastern Volunteers but had to have a few months rest due to a health problem.
I am now A1 but have since moved from Mooroolbark to Wandin.
I am advised I cannot resume driving because of cost considerations involved regards my new location.
Do you have any vacancies in this area (Yarra Ranges) for meals on wheels or other similar services that I could assist with?
Regards, Bill Bailey.
Hi Bill,
Great to hear that your health has recovered. I’ll pass on your details to our Volunteer Services who will be able to find volunteer vacancies in Yarra Ranges and transport.

To Whom it may concern,
I am interested in some volunteer work.
I am currently in my 3rd year at Latrobe University studying Rehabilitation Counselling and soon need to apply for placement.
I have had previous experience at the Austin hospital as well as other volunteer work through high schools etc.
Thank you, Libby
I am interested in any volunteering positions you may have available. I am currently doing animal studies so would love something along those lines but am happy to consider other areas.
