Why Choose to volunteer with Red Cross?

The program

Reliable access to medical care is essential for everyone’s health and independence.

Red Cross Patient Transport program supports older and vulnerable Australians who lack safe, regular transport to their non-urgent health appointments. Our door-to-door transport service helps clients achieve better health outcomes, reinforces their independence, and helps them remain safely in their own homes longer.

Red Cross Patient Transport runs on weekdays with regular weekly or fortnightly shifts. Our reliable, friendly volunteers help clients get to appointments on time, reduce travel stress, and support their independence.

The opportunity

We are looking for dependable volunteers who can relate to and empathise with a diverse range of people, including those from different cultural backgrounds and life experiences.

Key Requirements And Your Commitment

Red Cross will ensure you have training, ongoing support and access to other opportunities within the world’s largest humanitarian network.

The impact

As a Red Cross Patient Transport volunteer, you’ll remove one of the biggest hurdles to care—transportation—so clients can attend appointments that keep them healthy and independent. Your reliable service will increase clients’ confidence in managing their health and support them to stay living safely in their own homes. In return, you’ll gain fulfillment of enabling access to vital services, the satisfaction of making a difference in someone’s day, and the opportunity to engage with Australia’s diverse communities.

You’ll be part of the Red Cross Aged & Community Care team that works to support older and vulnerable people across Australia through a range of volunteer-based programs.
