A little time, a world of comfort - Croatian Speaker, Residential Aged Care
HammondCare Volunteers
20 Nov 2025Waratah, Victoria, 2298Voluntary, unpaidSocial Work
Sharing language, memories, and moments that matter. We are looking for a kind and compassionate Croatian-speaking volunteer to spend time with an aged care resident living with dementia. This resident finds comfort in familiar language, gentle company, and simple moments shared with someone who understands their cultural background. Your visits might include chatting in Croatian, reading aloud, watching a favourite TV program together, or simply listening to music in a relaxed and unhurried way. What matters most is your presence — offering friendship, reassurance, and the joy of connection. This role suits someone who is patient, warm, and willing to give a small amount of their time each week to brighten the life of an older person. No special skills are needed beyond empathy, reliability, and a genuine wish to share companionship with someone who will truly appreciate it. By becoming a volunteer, you will be enriching a resident’s days with familiarity and kindness, while also experiencing the deep reward that comes from making a real difference in someone’s life. Your impact Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated. HammondCare HammondCare is an independent Christian charity and we're passionate about improving the quality of life for people in need. We have a wonderful group of volunteers that partner with us to enhance the lives of people cared for by HammondCare.
