Neighbours helping neighbours.
Chaverim Melbourne is a volunteer-run community organisation established in 2019. We provide practical, non-medical assistance to people who are stranded or need a helping hand.
Our volunteers bring calm, care and useful equipment to everyday situations—from a flat tyre or jump start to a lockout or roadside safety concern.
Chaverim Melbourne operates independently and is also a member of Interstate Chaverim.
No judgement. Just practical help from friends you can count on.
Local help across Melbourne’s inner south-east.
Our area of operation follows the Melbourne Eruv area across Melbourne’s inner south-east, subject to safety and suitable volunteer availability.
