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