Social Support Volunteer

Do you have good communication skills? Have an ability to work with minimal supervision? Are reliability and punctual? Apply your skills as a Social Support volunteer at the Tom Foster Comunity Care Centre.

The Marrickville Social Support Service is based at Tom Foster Community Care in Newtown and covers the Marrickville Local Government area. Social Support volunteers make a valuable contribution to the quality of people`s lives by breaking down isolation and loneliness and assisting in practical ways such as shopping.


Volunteers are usually matched to a client based on interests, preferences and availability. Volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of 1 hour per week. Out of pocket expenses are reimbursed. All volunteers are required to undergo a criminal record check and provide details of two referees.

The Marrickville Social Support Program is an initiative of Marrickville Council and is funded through the Home and Community Care Program.
