Share a Yarn, a Chat, and a Connection with Veteran Carmel!
Are you looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community? Ageing with Grace believes that social connections are essential to the well-being of older people. We are seeking enthusiastic, compassionate, friendly Volunteer Visitors to spend time with older people who are at risk of social isolation and loneliness.
We are currently searching for a friendly, engaging volunteer (an Australian female, 18 years of age or older) to spend some quality one-on-one time with Carmel.

Carmel has a proud history of service, having previously served in the Australian Army. Currently experiencing social isolation, she would greatly benefit from a regular, friendly face to help her stay connected. Carmel has a creative side and loves knitting. To match her comfort and background, she would prefer an Australian female companion who can join her for relaxed 1:1 conversations and perhaps share a passion for crafting.
The Role:
- What: 1:1 companionship and social visits.
- Activities: Enjoying a warm cup of tea, having a bright chat, sharing stories, or knitting together.
- Time Commitment: Flexible hours to suit your schedule (weekly or fortnightly visits).
About You:
- You are an Australian female volunteer
(to match Carmel's preference). - You are 18 years of age or older.
- You possess a kind heart, compassion, and reliability.
- An interest in knitting, crafts, or military history is a wonderful bonus, but not required!
About the Program:
This position is supported by the Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme (ACVVS). The ACVVS is a government-funded program designed to combat social isolation and help develop social connections.
By giving just an hour or two of your time, you can make a massive difference in Carmel's week, honoring her background while building a rewarding friendship.
