Community Visitor - visiting older Australians (face-to-face & phone contact)

Dubbo Neighbourhood Centre Inc.
Logo for Dubbo Neighbourhood Centre Inc.

Enrich the quality of life of older people living at home who are socially isolated or lonely, and who would benefit from a friendly Community Visitor to chat with.

Dubbo Neighbourhood Centre is looking for volunteers to visit (or virtually visit via phone when Covid-19 isolation is required) with lonely or socially isolated people in Dubbo and surrounding areas.

You will be matched with an older Australian to visit/call on a regular basis to provide friendship and companionship. Visits are spent doing something you both may enjoy - e.g chatting, having a cuppa, reminiscing, or going for a little walk or having a sit down in the garden together etc.

Visitors usually visit as friends/companions on a fortnightly basis. Phone calls may be made instead of visiting when appropriate, such as during COVID-19 isolation. You must be aged 18 years and over, be fully COVID-19 vaccination, are required to undergo a police check and provide two referees prior to commencing.

You can not apply for this role as it is no longer available.
