Practical assistance

Volunteer teams around Melbourne provide a range of support for people living with HIV. These teams are managed by Community Support staff.

Forms of support include group social activities, such as dinners and movie nights, and individual support, such as home visits and assistance with shopping.

Clients who require volunteer support are linked to the team closest to their home. Teams meet monthly to consider client needs and to plan support for the coming month.

Teams are based in:

  • Dandenong
  • Chelsea
  • Ormond
  • St Kilda
  • Richmond
  • Northcote
  • Footscray
  • Kensington
