Our platform helps manage volunteer programs supporting veterans and their families, tracks volunteer hours, and measures the social impact of veteran support initiatives.

Paid plans start at $389/month for additional features like rostering, compliance tracking, Care Alerts, and impact reporting.

What is a volunteer marketplace and how does SuggiCare's work?

A volunteer marketplace is an online platform where organisations post volunteer opportunities and volunteers can browse, search, and apply. SuggiCare's free volunteer marketplace connects volunteers with non-profits, charities, aged care providers, disability services, veteran organisations, and community groups across Australia. Volunteers can filter by location, cause area, and time commitment to find the perfect volunteering opportunity.

What makes SuggiCare different from other care software?

SuggiCare is the only platform that combines Care Alerts (early distress detection) with volunteer management, ESG reporting, and NDIS compliance across Aged Care, Disability, Veterans, Care Homes, Child Care, Sports Clubs, and Multicultural communities. We detect distress before it's spoken and protect the people who provide care.

How does SuggiCare measure social impact?

SuggiCare provides ESG and SDG reporting, volunteer value calculation, grant-ready impact reports, and analytics dashboards. Our platform helps organisations demonstrate their social impact to funders, boards, and stakeholders with real metrics, not just activity logs.
