As a Community Visitor you will visit our male resident at the Aged Care home in Wynnum. Regular fortnightly visits provide the resident with valuable friendship and interaction. During your visits you can get to know each other through having a chat and looking through old photos together. In his earlier days, our resident had a passion for fishing and working on cars! He grew up in the local Wynnum Manly area.

These visits from a Community Visitor can help to improve the quality of life of the older person and help them to feel less socially isolated. Through this regular one-to-one visiting great friendships can be formed.

Volunteering as a Community Visitor can be a very rewarding experience. By becoming a friend to an older person, you can make a positive difference to their lives as well as your own.

• An important note - A requirement issued by the Federal Government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, is that ALL visitors to aged care facilities in Australia must have a current Flu Vaccination with evidence to be provided to Wynnum Baptist Community Visitors Scheme and the aged care facility.

** COVID-19 Vaccine - although not mandatory at this stage for Community Visitors, it is highly recommended for those entering aged care homes.
