OUR COMMITTEE

The Management Committee’s qualifications and experience cover a range of areas including insurance & risk, accounting, law, private business, housing construction & tenancy management, community aged care and disability sector (private and NFP), community participation and client representation.

VOLUNTEERS

Our volunteers are essential to our service delivery by increasing our opportunities in achieving  the WOW factor.

Over fifty volunteers work with us each year in various roles, supporting our clients and/or the organisation bringing their own experiences and gifts to maintain our excellent standard of service delivery and outstanding reputation in the community. Our volunteers have been regularly nominated and recognised through awards for their service to the Gold Coast Community.

Our dedicated volunteer  team contributes their time and effort with enthusiasm and passion. Gardening, washing vehicles, serving and preparing meals, cleaning, packing eskies, driving, creating decorations, assisting with admin tasks, spending time with people having a much needed chat ~ all the unseen acts of kindness that make a huge difference to ensuring Liberty maintains it’s high standard within the GC community.

In 2017-18 our amazing volunteers donated over 8,500 hours equaling over $232,000 in unpaid wages.

All volunteers of Liberty Community Connect are thoroughly reference and criminal record checked and wear photographic identification.
