Sydney MCS requires volunteers from Spanish, Italian, Greek, Russian, Maltese, Portuguese, Cantonese, Mandarin, Arabic and English speaking backgrounds to support our Community Visitors Scheme program in the Eastern Suburbs.

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.

Our volunteers will have a positive and cheerful personality, be caring, friendly and compassionate.

The volunteer Community Visitor is matched with a Community Resident according to language and cultural backgrounds and possibly other interests.

Visits take place at least once a fortnight for an hour or two. Activities may include conversations, games, watching TV, listening to music, reading, reminiscing or other activities depending on the capacity of the resident.

***The induction and training will take place in our head office (Kingsford)***
