Volunteer Opportunity: Aged Care Visitors Scheme

Enjoy spending time with older people?

Have 1 or 2 hours per week to volunteer ?

Help us reduce loneliness across Bendigo amongst our older community!

We are looking for friendly, compassionate and caring volunteers interested in enriching the lives of older people living in residential aged care or at home. If you love a chat and can commit to visiting someone weekly or fortnightly, for at least 12 months, we'd love to hear from you.  

Our recruitment process includes an application form, interview, online training (also available in paper copy) and National Police Clearance. You will be supported by a local program officer. Once completed, we will match you with an older person with similar interests in your area for you to visit.  We know the value of a regular friendly visitor and the impact it has on both volunteers and recipients. 

If this sounds like something you are interested in, please get in touch by phoning 1800 022 887 or completing the online form below.
