Share Moments that Matter

The Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre is advertising this opportunity on behalf of Doncare.

Are you a kind-hearted woman who enjoys warm conversation, fresh air, and a good cup of coffee?

We are looking for a female volunteer through the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) to visit a delightful lady living with dementia in residential aged care.

Originally from Croatia, she is a former fashion designer who once crafted intricate dresses and stylish leather jackets. With a life rich in travel, she and her husband explored America, Europe, and many parts of Australia. She also loved dancing, concerts, and socialising with friends.

While her memory isn’t what it used to be, she still finds great joy in sharing stories, enjoying company, and simply sitting outside with a coffee.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Female, friendly, and compassionate
• Comfortable spending time with someone living with memory loss
• Happy to engage in gentle conversation and companionship
• Ideally interested in fashion, travel, or music – but above all, kind and consistent

Your visits—just an hour a fortnight—can bring comfort, connection, and genuine joy.
