At Veteran Housing Australia, volunteers like Lorna from Noble Park remind us what community really means. From a friendly chat with a tenant to lending a hand around one of our properties, every act of service helps us provide more than just housing — it helps us create homes and connection.
Born from Carry On’s 90-year legacy of supporting veterans, VHA continues that proud tradition — building stable foundations and brighter futures for those who’ve served. And our volunteers are at the heart of it all.
When you volunteer with us, you’re joining a community that values compassion, respect, and action. Whether you have a few hours to give or a regular day each week, your time can make a real difference in the lives of veterans and their families.
Volunteering isn’t just about giving — it’s about belonging. You’ll meet incredible people, gain new skills, and experience the fulfilment that comes from knowing you’ve helped someone rebuild their life, one roof at a time.
Ways you can get involved:
- Supporting veteran tenants and local communities
- Assisting at properties with light maintenance or gardening
- Helping at community events and fundraising activities
- Sharing professional skills in governance, advocacy, or operations
Every helping hand counts — because together, we’re ending veteran homelessness.
“Loneliness is a disease that has a big impact on people, especially as they age.” – Lorna, VHA Volunteer, Noble Park
Through her regular visits, Lorna brings warmth, conversation, and connection to veterans in our community. Her friendly check-ins not only brighten days but also help tenants access services and support they might not have known were available.
It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes the smallest gestures — a listening ear, a caring smile — can make the biggest difference.
Thank you, Lorna, for helping us build community, one visit at a time.
