Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme - Wagga Wagga

Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme - Wagga Wagga We provide companionship for older people who are isolated in their own homes or in Aged Care Homes.

The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) is funded by the Australian Government and plays a vital role in providing companionship for older people who are isolated in their own homes or in aged care homes. ACVVS is a two-way program designed to add to the quality of life of an aged care recipient and enhance the volunteer visitor's feelings through community involvement. Having a volunteer

visitor can increase the self-esteem and general wellbeing of aged care recipients. With as little a one hour a fortnight, volunteers can make a world of difference in someone’s life. Becoming a volunteer visitor and befriending a resident can be both fun and rewarding for both of you. Eligible aged care recipients must reside in an Australian Government aged care home, be receiving (or waitlisted) for a home care package.
