ABOUT US
The Salvation Army is a Christian movement and one of Australia’s largest and most-loved charities. We believe in doing good that transforms lives and futures for the better. It is this belief which drives us to find new ways and places where we can make a difference. From times of personal crisis to moments of national grief, we are always here — providing support, safety, community, and opportunity.
The Salvation Army ‘Doorways’ community support model engages people at their point of need in a holistic way that is missional, relational and professional. We provide support for those that need it most through financial and material emergency relief and casework which helps them to find long-term solutions.

Key tasks and responsibilities
Volunteers in this role work with community members striking up conversations, support the distribution of material assistance, issuing financial relief cards and referral to other services, programs, activities and spiritual support.
A friendly smile and warm welcome will help community members relax and connect over a cup of tea or coffee, as the Doorways Community Connector takes a genuine interest in the person and how we can help.
