Fortis Consulting (PICAC WA) presented alongside AFCAS (The Association for Culturally Appropriate Services) at a Lunar New Year community event, to promote the importance of the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) and its role in supporting older people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
The event provided an opportunity to highlight the ACVVS program and the important role volunteer visitors play in building connection and companionship for older people, while also engaging with community organisations and volunteers involved in delivering the program.
The event brought together aged care providers and community visitors to connect and cooperate, while celebrating culture through traditional dance and other cultural performances.
PICAC WA values opportunities to work alongside organisations such as AFCAS to help raise awareness of the Community Visitor Program and support culturally appropriate engagement with older people across the aged care sector.
Thank you to AFCAS and the volunteers involved in the ACVVS for their ongoing work supporting older people in the community.
