The Marillac House program is a residential program that provides affordable accommodation in Launceston and Hobart to people who have to travel for medical reasons, such as receiving treatment, attending appointments, or visiting loved ones in nearby hospitals and day surgeries. The program is designed to reduce the financial burden on individuals and families who have to travel long distances for medical care.

Some of the specific activities and initiatives undertaken at Marillac House Launceston and Marillac House Hobart include:

  • Providing safe and affordable accommodation for people who have to travel for medical reasons;
  • Offering a supportive and welcoming environment where guests can rest and recover;
  • Assisting guests with their transportation, meals, and other essential services needs; and
  • Offering empathy and friendship to guests during their stay

Volunteers play a crucial role in the success of the Marillac House program. Some of the roles of a Marillac House volunteer may include:

  • Assisting with the day-to-day operation of the House, including administrative duties, cooking, tidying, and maintenance tasks;
  • Providing emotional support and friendship to guests during their stay;
  • Assisting with the intake process for new guests; and
  • Assisting with fundraising and community events to support Marillac House.

Volunteers play a crucial role in this work, and their contributions help to make a real difference in the lives of others. Emotional support is a vital aspect of caring for people who are sick or who are caring for those they love who may be unwell. Volunteers at Marillac House play an essential role in enabling this support by helping guests to feel welcome, more connected, less isolated, and more hopeful about the future.
