Volunteer Visitor Program – Connecting Hearts, Enriching Lives

The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) is a heartfelt initiative designed to bring companionship, joy, and connection to seniors in our community. Whether you’re an elderly individual looking for a friendly visitor or a social worker / care manager seeking support for your clients, the Volunteer Visitor program is here to make a difference.

Find a Friend Who Cares 

Loneliness doesn’t have to be a part of your life. Through the Volunteer Visitor program, you can:  

* Enjoy Regular Visits: Spend time with a friendly, caring volunteer who is matched to your interests and personality.  

* Share Your Stories: Talk about your life, hobbies, and experiences with someone who genuinely wants to listen.  

* Stay Connected: Build a meaningful friendship that brightens your days and brings a sense of belonging.  

Our volunteers are here to provide companionship and support, whether it’s through a chat, a game, or simply sharing a cup of tea.
