At HammondCare, we believe that every moment of connection matters. As an independent Christian charity specialising in dementia care, we’re dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for people in need — and our volunteers play a vital part in that mission.

As a Pet Visitor, you’ll:

• Stroll through the home with your dog, offering residents time to pat and interact
• Share friendly conversations and laughter along the way
• Bring comfort, connection, and happiness through your dog’s presence

You’ll need:

• A clean, calm, and friendly dog with trimmed nails
• 1–2 hours to spare once a fortnight (or more if you wish)
• A willingness to attend a dog approval meeting and complete provided training
• National Police Check and NDIS Worker Screening Check (we’ll help organise and cover these)

You’ll be supported every step of the way and become part of a compassionate team making a real difference in people’s lives.

If you love dogs, enjoy connecting with older people, and want to bring genuine joy to others, this is a truly rewarding way to give back.

Apply now and experience how a few hours — and a few happy paws — can make the world of difference!
