The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme, formerly known as the Community Visitors Scheme, aims to address loneliness and isolation among Home Care Package recipients and Residential Aged Care recipients by connecting them with a new friend for weekly visits. Volunteering Gold Coast receives funding from the Australian Government to run the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme in our community.
Many older Queenslanders become isolated because of their geographic location or their family circumstances. We’re here to help by finding companionship for you or your loved one, focusing on shared interests and compatibility.
