Tamborine Mountain Community Care Association Incorporated, a not-for-profit organisation has been delivering aged care services to the aged members of our community for the past thirty years.

Services are delivered by both paid staff and volunteers. Services delivered are funded by the Commonwealth Home Support Program and are provided to assist our clients to remain living independently in their homes. Our paid staff are a dedicated group of people; most current staff have been with the organisation for several years, and one has just achieved a milestone of 19 years’ continuous service. The remaining members of staff have been in continuous employment of between 5 and 13 years. The longevity of service provides the organisation with consistency, while providing confidence that we are an employer of choice which looks after its staff. 

A team of dedicated volunteers assists with the delivery of programs and services. The number of volunteers has reduced of late, mainly due to the effects of COVID-19. Support from volunteers is greatly appreciated and needed to ensure delivery of services to the aged members of the Tamborine Mountain Community. As of 30th December 2022, there were 44 registered volunteers who give generously of their time. The Management Committee are also volunteers. Their skills, knowledge and advice are greatly appreciated and needed to ensure that the organisation meets its obligations as an incorporated association.

Volunteers assist in a number of different roles including admin, program delivery, social support, driving clients to medical appointments to name a few. In addition to the clients benefiting from receiving services, our volunteers also benefit from the knowledge that they are contributing to the community by helping in some small way assisting members of our community to live a good life independently. To quote feedback received from one of our newest volunteers: “Thank you for welcoming me on board as a volunteer, I have so enjoyed these past few months of friendship and being part of a team.”

If you have some free time and would like to contribute to the community by volunteering please get in touch.
