Do you speak Mandarin and want to make a real difference in someone's life?

We are looking for a kind, patient, and compassionate Mandarin-speaking volunteer to visit an older Chinese lady. The goal is to engage in friendly conversation, offer emotional support, and help combat loneliness.

Volunteer Visitors are required to visit their older friend on a fortnightly basis (weekly where possible), on an ongoing basis doing an activity that you both enjoy. This particular lady is in a wheelchair and would love to be taken for a walk and a chat in the grounds of her aged care home.

Volunteering can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help older people to feel less isolated. Your visits will bring great joy to the client you are matched with.

All volunteers are must have a Working with Vulnerable People Card (WWVP) and can expect ongoing support and training from their ACVVS Program Coordinator.
