The Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre is advertising this role on behalf of Doncare.
Did you know that volunteering can boost your self-esteem, happiness, and overall life satisfaction? You can experience this while making a meaningful difference in the life of an older person who may be feeling socially isolated or lonely.
The Australian Government funded Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) connects volunteers with older people who share similar interests and life experiences, building meaningful and lasting friendships through regular social visits.
Doncare’s Social Support Programs team will support you every step of the way by matching you with a suitable recipient and providing training and ongoing guidance.
“We can be ourselves and crack jokes. We can be friendly with each other and respect each other’s point of view. The visits have given me my confidence back.” John, Doncare ACVVS recipient.
Visit times are highly flexible around your availability. One hour a fortnight can mean the world to someone.
