Mandarin-speaking Community Visitor, Chermside - Residential Aged Care

Wesley Mission Queensland
Logo for Wesley Mission Queensland

Ni Hao. Are you looking for an opportunity to give back to your community, and have one hour each fortnight to share with a male aged care resident who speaks Mandarin? Our highly valued volunteer visitors help older people who feel isolated to become more connected. By chatting in a preferred language and sharing cultural memories you can bring joy and comfort. This resident enjoys meditation and has requested a visitor for talks and walks on a weekday. You can choose a day that suits, and we will guide you through the process.

The Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) is an Australian Government-funded program established to promote links between people living in an aged care facility and in the wider community with volunteer community visitors.

Our CVS program aims to enrich the quality of life of residents in aged care facilities who may be socially isolated or lonely - whether for social or cultural reasons or due to disability.  

Community Visitors assist in ensuring our residents remain actively engaged and inspired every day. Quality time shared with a resident friend can include chatting, playing cards or board games, work on a hobby together, or discuss the local news. You might take a walk, grab a coffee in one of our onsite cafes, or do some gardening together.  Community Visitors are not involved in providing clinical or personal care to residents.

As a WMQ Community Visitor, you will have access to lots of benefits, such as:

  • Supply and pay for any security checks required for the position
  • Access to online and face-to-face wellness advisors
  • Great education opportunities
  • Free Flu Vaccinations
  • Exclusive shopping discounts 
  • Being part of a team that really is making a difference in the lives of seniors in our Aged Care Communities.
