About the role
Do you want to give back to your community and make a meaningful difference in the life of an older person?
Becoming an Aged Care Volunteer Visitor can be an incredibly rewarding experience.
The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) is an Australian Government-funded program that aims to reduce social isolation and loneliness and increase social connection for older people in our community.
Older people can be particularly vulnerable to social isolation, especially when they have limited contact with family, friends or their wider community. Our volunteer visitors play an important role in providing regular friendship, companionship and connection.
For as little as one hour per fortnight, you can make a world of difference to someone’s life.
Our recipients come from many different backgrounds and have a wide range of interests. We carefully match volunteers with an older person in their local area, taking into account interests, preferences, personality and compatibility.
Many of our volunteers find that they get just as much from the relationship as they give, with both volunteers and older people benefiting from genuine friendship and connection.
Volunteering as an ACVVS visitor is a simple but meaningful way to give back to your community.
Regular visits can improve an older person’s sense of wellbeing and connection and provide something to genuinely look forward to. At the same time, you’ll have the opportunity to build a meaningful relationship, hear some wonderful life stories and connect with someone you may otherwise never have met.
If you’re ready to become an Aged Care Volunteer Visitor, click Apply Now and complete the application form.
Our ACVVS Project Officer, Jessie Graham, will then contact you for an informal chat about your interests, availability and what you’re looking for in a volunteer experience. We’ll work with you to find a suitable match before arranging an introduction.
If you have any questions about the program, please contact Jessie on 0467 937 956 or volunteer@nrcg.org.au.
Thank you for your interest in ACVVS – just an hour of your time can make a lasting difference.
