Please note, due to the situation with COVID-19, Governments have put visiting restrictions in place to protect residents and workers in residential aged care facilities. In order to visit a residential aged care facility, you must provide evidence that you have received the influenza vaccination in 2020. If the Aged Care Facility is closed to volunteer visitors (due to COVID-19-related restrictions or other public health measures), the Community Visitor Volunteer contacts the participant by phone, letter or video-call. Please see the Role Description for further information

The program

Red Cross supports elderly members of the community to be more independent, to improve their wellbeing and social connection, and to remain living in their local community. We do this by matching volunteers with an older person who lives in a residential aged care facility or at home and experiences social isolation.

The opportunity

This role suits someone over the age of 18 who is a good listener and can commit to one hour a week for a social visit to a person living in residential aged care or their own home.

The impact

As a Community Visitor Volunteer, you’ll brighten the life of someone suffering vulnerability by offering them company and friendship. Red Cross will ensure you have training, ongoing support and access to other opportunities within the World’s largest humanitarian network.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are strongly encouraged to apply.
