- Chat Program: Make a Difference in the Lives of Elderly Residents

Brighten someone's day and make a meaningful contribution to their quality of life! Our Coffee &

- Chat Program is a 1:1 personal visit which helps increase connectedness and happiness among aged care residents. We are looking for a special person to visit our Greek resident – a St Vincent’s kind of person, a Greek speaker who puts compassion, connection and caring for other people at the heart of everything they do.

'Sofia' is Greek born and would love a visitor to chat with in her native language. She is a creative soul who enjoys all arty activities! From sewing, knitting, and crocheting, to flower arranging and colouring books, 'Sofia' would benefit from a new friend to visit her regularly.

What You’ll Do:

Enjoy a chat over a cup of coffee

Listen to and share life stories

Take a stroll in the garden

Read books, play cards, or work on puzzles

Listen to their favourite music

Why Volunteer?

Many elderly Australians in aged care homes face loneliness and social isolation. By volunteering just one hour a fortnight, you can make a significant difference in their lives. You'll be matched one-on-one with a resident who could greatly benefit from your friendship. Studies show that loneliness can be as detrimental to health as smoking, and sadly, over 40% of people in aged care lack regular visitors. Your presence can help bridge this gap.





Program Details:

Dedication: Our special volunteers are people who would like to visit their new friend at least 20 times or more over a twelve-month period (about one visit every two to three weeks or more).

Requirements: Must be over 18 years old, pass a NDIS check (we will provide assistance, and it is free for volunteers) and be available to visit consistently.

Ideal Volunteers:

Speak Greek (preferred for specific residents)

Exhibit care and compassion for the elderly

Have excellent communication skills

Are committed and punctual

What You’ll Gain:

The chance to form long-lasting, meaningful friendships

Be part of a friendly team with a strong community spirit

Experience the joy of enriching the lives of others
