Do you want to make a real difference?
Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organisation. With only 6 paid part-time staff we could not run our organisation without the selfless support of our wonderful group of over 50 volunteers.
We are always looking for passionate volunteers who are dedicated about delivering valued services to the older community. If you’re interested in becoming a CMA volunteer and making a difference for others in the North Shore community, find out more about the various volunteer roles below.
