Classic Heroes

Classic Heroes

At Classic Holidays, we’re always inspired by the stories we hear of our members who volunteer their time to make the world a better place – whether it’s in remote communities in the most underprivileged countries, or right here in our own backyard.

These are the kind of people who are rarely thanked for all they do - but that's about to change.


Through our partnership with Volunteering Services Australia, we’ve established Classic Heroes to bring awareness to these incredible individuals who are doing great things in our communities and for the volunteering movement, Australia-wide.

We'll be featuring their stories regularly in our Choices Magazine and on our website, so watch this space for more inspiring stories from the volunteer community.

Her commitment to the organisation is exceptional, attending the monthly staff meeting, periodic staff training as well as other functions and events that are held throughout the year. Connie can always be relied upon to visit a client in hospital or in respite care, and is tireless in her efforts to assist the ageing Italian community on the Gold Coast.

Laura Zipf – House with No Steps

Finding the time as a registered nurse working shifts in hospital emergency wards to volunteer with House With No Steps is just one of the reasons Laura Zipf is a Classic Hero. Working at “Debbie Way”, a disability accommodation service where 3 young ladies are supported who have extremely high needs physically, intellectually, medically and behaviourally, it is a challenging environment and one that Laura has jumped into without hesitation.
