The **Multicultural Communities Council of SA (MCCSA)** is welcoming enthusiastic and compassionate volunteers from diverse cultural backgrounds to join our **Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS)**.

This flexible and rewarding prospect is perfect for working, studying, or retired people—and it's a beautiful way to give back to the community.

* **Commitment:** At least 20 visits per year (about one hour every fortnight)
* **Activities:** Share stories over a cup of tea, go for a walk, or enjoy a hobby together
* **No personal care involved:** Volunteers do ***not*** assist with meals, finances, advocacy, or personal care
* **Centrelink approved:** This role meets mutual obligation requirements for those aged 55+
**What we're looking for:**
* Patience, empathy, and excellent communication (especially listening)
* Respect, kindness, reliability,
and a non-judgmental attitude
* Flexibility and the ability to follow boundaries, policies, and procedures
* Most importantly, a genuine enjoyment of spending time with older people
