Overview
Your presence can bring joy, comfort, and a sense of connection to someone who needs it. No special skills are required—just kindness and a willingness to show up.
The Role: Join the Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme (ACVVS), funded by the Australian Government, and help reduce loneliness among older Australians. As a volunteer, you'll be matched with a senior who would truly appreciate regular social visits. These visits can be as simple as chatting over coffee, sharing stories, listening to music, playing a game, or enjoying some time outdoors. It's a small commitment that creates a big impact.
