National Volunteer Week may be over, but the impact of palliative care volunteers continues every day.

Palliative care volunteering is about connection, compassion, and helping people feel supported during some of life's most important moments.

There are many ways to get involved, including:

➡️ Companion Volunteers provide presence, conversation, and gentle support to people receiving palliative care, whether in a hospice, care facility, at home, or in the community. Sometimes, a simple chat or shared moment can bring comfort, connection, and reassurance.

➡️ Biography Volunteers help people record their stories, memories, reflections, and life experiences. These treasured keepsakes can become a lasting gift for families and loved ones, preserving what matters most.

Every role contributes to improving the quality of life of people receiving palliative care, as well as supporting their families and carers.

Whether you enjoy spending time with people, listening to stories, or helping preserve important memories, there may be a palliative care volunteer role that's right for you.

As a major sponsor of the 2026 National Volunteering Conference, Rosterfy is offering access to the Volunteer Program Maturity Health Check, a tool designed to help volunteer-involving organisations assess their volunteer programs across the four stages of the Volunteer Involvement Cycle: Prepare, Recruit, Support and Evaluate.

💡 Early data from our Volunteer Program Maturity Health Check reveals a major trend: nearly 40% of participating AU/NZ organisations are running on manual spreadsheets and disjointed setups. This leaves compliance loops exposed and buries managers in repetitive tasks instead of growing their programs.

If you're chasing paperwork by hand, it’s time to break the cycle. Complete the Health Check to receive a custom, comprehensive report designed to solve your biggest daily frustrations:

🔸Recover lost time: Pinpoint exactly where you are losing up to 15 hours a week to admin bloat so you can win that time back.
🔸 Close hidden risks: Instantly identify compliance gaps across recruitment and onboarding before they cause volunteer drop-off.
🔸Celebrate what’s working: Get clear, data-backed evidence of your operational strengths to share with your board or leadership.

Gain an actionable roadmap: walk away with a practical action plan across four key stages: Prepare, Recruit, Support, and Evaluate.
