“I really enjoy picking up customers and dropping them to appointments,” says Michael.
“I have regulars that I have developed a great relationship with, and every time I see them we have a such a laugh. I feel good and like that that I’ve done a good deed.”

Why volunteer with Chorus?
Chorus offers a range of volunteering opportunities for individuals and groups, including students, community and corporate groups. Chorus volunteers work alongside team members, seniors, those living with disability or on the mental health recovery journey. Volunteers can help with gardening, home maintenance, driving, meal delivery, outings, wellness programs and shopping.
Many customers are socially isolated and volunteering your time helps people connect in the community. When you volunteer you can meet like-minded people, form new friendships, challenge yourself, learn new skills and make a huge difference to someone else’s life.
Volunteer work with Chorus is flexible – you can volunteer as a one-off or commit to regular days. We offer volunteering jobs across Perth and WA, including Rockingham, Bunbury and Albany.
Chorus volunteers are encouraged to contribute whatever time they have available, from a few hours a fortnight to a maximum of three days a week.
