Share faith, conversation and meaningful moments ❤️

We are looking for a kind, compassionate volunteer to spend one-on-one time with a resident through the ACVVS program, with an interest in forming a meaningful faith-based connection.

This could be a lovely opportunity for someone who enjoys sharing their faith and would appreciate quiet, meaningful companionship.

Visits might include:

• 📖 Reading the Bible or other Christian books together
• 🙏 Sharing prayer or quiet reflection
• ✝️ Talking about faith, spirituality and life's journey
• 💬 Enjoying gentle conversation and reminiscing
• 🎶 Listening to hymns or favourite religious music
• ☕ Simply spending time together and enjoying each other's company

You don't need to be a theologian or have any special qualifications. What matters most is being warm, respectful, patient and comfortable sharing in conversations about faith.

A regular visit from a caring person can provide something truly special — friendship, connection, spiritual companionship and a familiar face to look forward to.

Could you share some time, faith and friendship?

If you feel you could build a meaningful connection with someone through faith, conversation and companionship, we would love to hear from you.

Volunteer through the ACVVS program and help bring comfort, connection and joy to a resident’s day.

Why Volunteer?

Many elderly Australians in aged care homes face loneliness and social isolation. By volunteering just one hour a fortnight, you can make a significant difference in someone's life.

You'll be matched one-on-one with a resident who could greatly benefit from your friendship, companionship and regular presence.

• Requirements: Must be over 18 years old, pass a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History check (NCCHC) (we will provide assistance, and cover any associated costs) and be available to visit consistently.

Ideal Volunteers:

• Exhibit care and compassion for the elderly
• Are comfortable and patient when spending time with people living with dementia
• Have excellent communication and listening skills
• Enjoy conversation and are interested in learning about other people's lives
• Are committed and punctual

What You’ll Gain:
