About this opportunity

FNQ Volunteers Inc is seeking an Aged Care Volunteer Visitor through the ACVVS program.

We’re seeking a Volunteer Visitor - Dementia Support - to provide companionship to an older person living with dementia and offer much‑needed support to the family members who care for them every day.
Visits may take place either in the person’s own home or within a residential aged care facility, depending on their circumstances.

Visits take place once a week or once a fortnight, and volunteers must be 18 years or older. Reliability, flexibility, and a genuine commitment to showing up for someone are essential, along with completing our orientation and required training.

This is a deeply rewarding opportunity to improve someone’s wellbeing, bring comfort to a family under constant caring pressure, and make a positive difference in their life, and your own.

Requirements

- National Police Certificate

Additional requirements

Volunteers need to be 18 years+ and have genuine empathy,



understanding and enjoyment of the company of older people. Be reliable and adaptable. Experience supporting someone with dementia - either personally or professionally - would be highly valued. Undertake orientation and required training (a National Police Certificate is acquired as part of the training at no cost to the volunteer).
