The Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) is an Australian Government initiative that matches volunteers with older people who are at risk of loneliness or social isolation.

Who can become a Community Visitors Scheme Volunteer?

Anyone aged 18 – 100+ who is mature, empathic, kind, has good communication and listening skills and who is willing to provide friendship to a socially isolated aged care facility resident for as little as an hour a fortnight.

We have residents in the Salisbury, Playford & Tea Tree Gully council areas. We make every effort to match volunteers and residents that may share a common interest, hobby, language, cultural or life experience.

We offer training and on-going support throughout your volunteering experience.

Flu Vaccine and Police screening is necessary prior to beginning your CVS visits, please note that screening checks can take 3 – 4 weeks to process.
