The Bendigo resident got involved in the organisation after she replied to an advertisement in the newspaper calling for volunteers.
Ms McNamara has helped coordinate many fundraisers for the organisation, including the Easter Egg Hunt and Celebrity Art Show.
She said the work was very rewarding.
"It's a wonderful organisation to volunteer with. Just the other volunteers, the staff members and the clients," Ms McNamara said.
"We are there for the clients. At the end of the day that's why we are volunteering - to assist the clients in our community who are blind or have low vision."
Ms McNamara also has a paid position with Vision Australia - the coordinator of volunteers.
"There are many volunteer roles available, some volunteers work directly with clients," she said.
Vision Australia is calling for volunteers to assist with Vision Australia Radio and its Eye Opener and Day programs.
Those interested should contact Vision Australia on 5445 5700.
