Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme

Become a Volunteer Visitor

Becoming an aged care volunteer visitor can be a rewarding and life-changing experience. Not only are you giving back to your community but you are making a positive impact on the lives of those who need it.

You will:

• make a friend while reducing someone’s loneliness
• share ideas and stories with someone who has many of their own.
• Provide someone with an opportunity to have a chat with a friendly face who has similar interests.

Volunteers usually visit for an hour once a fortnight, at a time that suits both the volunteer and the person receiving aged care services. Volunteers can visit the older person in:

• their own home
• their aged care home

People receiving aged care services come from all different social and cultural backgrounds. We encourage volunteers from all social and cultural backgrounds to join the program.
