We need MEN for mateship for isolated gents in Aged Care

Become a Lifeline WA Volunteer and join our Community Visitors Scheme. The CVS aims to enrich the quality of life of older people living in isolation OR who don't receive a visitor either at home or in Aged Care.

Visits can be spent doing something you both enjoy - watching the footy, talking about old times, play cards, watch tv/dvds, stroll around the garden or out for a coffee. These can be done with individuals or in small group settings.

You'll be matched with someone in your local area and provided with support and induction.
