Visiting Volunteer
Australian Red Cross - ACVVS Exmouth
Having good social connections is essential for all aspects of health, especially as we age. The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) and Volunteer Visitors program supports older Australian’s who live in an aged care facility or their own home and who are lonely or socially isolated. Volunteers are matched with older people, either one-on-one or in a small group, to provide friendship and companionship, improving their wellbeing and social connection.
