Volunteering Queensland appeals to medical and allied health service professionals to volunteer at Homeless Connect 2021

HOMELESS Connect is a one-day event that links people experiencing homelessness with vital services and is one of the most effective ways to support the community, provide genuine help and develop meaningful connections with people in need.
