Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme

Keeping you connected to your community.

Creating community through companionship

Our Aged Care Volunteer Visiting Scheme (ACVVS) is dedicated to building genuine, meaningful connections for older Australians. Loneliness and isolation can deeply affect well-being, and this service helps bridge that gap by offering companionship, conversation, and consistent social support.

It’s more than a visit, it’s a chance to share stories, laughter, and friendship. Each interaction fosters connection, boosts mental well-being, and creates a sense of belonging. Through these relationships, we strengthen community ties and remind people that they are valued, seen, and cared for.

The ACVVS program makes a real difference by turning simple moments into something truly special. It helps older people feel supported and connected, and empowers them to remain active participants in their community.
