Make a meaningful difference in someone’s life—just one hour fortnightly.
Are you looking to make a positive impact in your community? Look no further!
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).
You’ll offer friendship and companionship to an older person, helping reduce their loneliness and social isolation. This adaptable and rewarding prospect is perfect for working, studying, or retired people—and it's a beautiful way to give back to the community.
Key Details:
Age: Volunteers must be 18 years or older
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
Additional Info:
A National Police Certificate is required (we’ll help you apply, and it’s free of charge).
Join us in making someone’s day brighter—one visit at a time.
