Life-changing moments start with volunteering.

Volunteering brings enormous benefits to individuals, an institution and the wider community.

It is vital in many charitable and not-for-profit organisations, including the Barossa Village's ability to deliver goods and services successfully.

Volunteering is one of the rare roles that offers tremendous diversity, can be tailored to individuals and has ever-expanding benefits for service. It doesn't have to be a long-term commitment or take hours at a time from your day, but often something people commit to long term due to the personal value received.

It's a great way to meet people, build connections, develop solid relationships and be a great source of fun! Volunteering provides a sense of perspective, distracts from negative thoughts, and stops rumination.

All of these are essential elements in managing depression and anxiety, combating feelings of isolation and loneliness and can aid in improving physical health. Doing something good for others naturally creates a sense of pride and satisfaction. Volunteering can also take you outside of your 'comfort zone' and provide the opportunity to learn new skills, which increases self-esteem, and confidence providing a solid sense of accomplishment. Volunteers are integral to the Barossa Village community, and new volunteers are always welcome. A wide range of opportunities is available such as facilitating activities for residents, transporting clients to appointments, or assisting in The Village Op Shop. You may be delighted to learn that the Barossa Village also support community-to-community volunteering with mentor programs through the local schools, reading sessions, joining one of our social clubs and helping host community events, or simply helping cook a BBQ.

With volunteering, the possibilities are often endless. It won't take long to see its influence on someone's life and your own.

Look at your local community for what's available, or contact the Barossa Village today. It just starts with the decision to say yes!

For decades group travel has been one of the most popular forms of travel available for like minded friends. For more than 20 years, Groups Tasmania has been providing Clubs and groups from all over the world the opportunity to explore our wonderful State without the pressure of having to plan an itinerary or book everything themselves. Group touring is about being shown around by locals and really capturing the essence of the destination. It means seeing the famous attractions but also wandering off the tourist trail. So much more than just a coach tour, you’ll experience the culture, meet the locals and savour the wonderful food.

Our well-balanced tailor made itineraries are designed with the traveller in mind. We put great effort into getting the right balance between organised touring and free time, after all it is a holiday! We include all the essential sights that others consider “optional extras”, while providing plenty of time for you to explore & discover.

• COACH TOURS

The best way to see the spectacular island state of Tasmania is on board a well appointed coach, with different sizes available depending on the number in your group. Let your experienced and knowledgeable coach captains do the driving while you relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

• CAR CLUBS

Tasmanian roads are renowned for their appeal to car and motorcycle enthusiasts, with its natural topography allowing for long sweeping roads through undulating hills and magnificent scenery.

• EDUCATIONAL TOURS

Tasmania is a popular destination for educational tours with its history, scenery and perceived isolation from the rest of Australia playing a major role in drawing schools to Tasmania for a memorable life experience.

Opening in February 2000, Groups Tasmania was established as a Nationally Accredited Tourism Operator by David Luttrell with a vision to provide excellent service in the expanding market of coach touring. Tasmanian owned and operated, Groups Tasmania offers comprehensive knowledge and experience of holidaying in your Natural State. David and Brett are true Tasmanian’s with both having in excess of 25 years specifically selling Tasmania as a holiday destination and we would love you to benefit from our knowledge and to share our passion for Tasmania.

We specialise in itinerary planning for every kind of group from schools to car clubs through to senior community groups and everything in between! We can arrange your travel arrangements including flights, Spirit of Tasmania, accommodation, meals and attractions in Tasmania.

If your organisation is looking at Tasmania as a destination for its next conference we can also assist with day tours and pre or post conference tours. Basically if you have a group that is looking to travel to Tasmania then Groups Tasmania can be your one stop shop and most importantly help you put together a memorable trip.
