Sydney MCS seeks volunteers from Italian-speaking backgrounds to support our Community Visitors Scheme program in Sydney.

The Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) program is funded by the Government Department of Health (DoH). The program serves culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) residents, who may be isolated by limited family support, language and cultural barriers. The Community Visitor volunteer is matched with the isolated elderly according to language and cultural backgrounds and possibly other interests. Activities may include, conversations, games, watching TV, listening to music, reading, reminiscing, or other activities depending on the capacity of the resident.
