Are you interested in becoming a volunteer?
One Hour. One Visit. A Life Changed.
Just one hour a fortnight of your time could bring connection, companionship, and joy to an older person experiencing loneliness.
Becoming an aged care volunteer visitor can be a rewarding and life-changing experience. You will make a friend, share stories and help someone who might be feeling isolated or lonely.
Volunteers usually visit for an hour once a fortnight at a time that suits you both. You might chat over a cuppa, go for a gentle walk, listen to music or read together, or simply spend quality time together.
Your commitment
- Minimum of 1 hour per fortnight
- Flexible days/times
- Build a genuine connection
Why volunteer?
- To make a lasting difference in someone’s life
- To feel a strong sense of purpose and connection
- To learn from someone with a lifetime of stories
- To be part of a supportive community
You’ll be a great fit if you are:
- Caring, reliable, and a good listener
- Respectful of others’ experiences and backgrounds
- Keen to give back to your community
No special skills needed – just kindness and consistency. ACVVS volunteers do not undertake any clinical or home care duties as part of their visits.
