The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS), funded by the Australian Government, plays a vital role in providing companionship for older people living in aged care homes or living in their own homes and receiving or waitlisted for a home care package.
With the support of the government, AUSCC is authorised to vigorously promote this volunteer visit program. Visits are for seniors living in residential care or receiving Support at Home (SaH). Through this project, we provide important support and care for the elderly, meeting their needs for companionship and friendship seeking to solve loneliness and social isolation. Our aim is to address the challenge of social alienation of the elderly.
