Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme

The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) supports regular in-person volunteer visits to give friendship and companionship to older people in the NT.

Becoming an aged care volunteer visitor can be a rewarding and life-changing experience. You will make a friend, share stories and help someone who might be feeling isolated or lonely.

Volunteers usually visit for an hour once a fortnight at a time that suits you both. During a visit a volunteer and older person can do anything you both feel like doing, such as:

• enjoy a chat over a cup of tea
• take a walk
• work on a joint hobby together.

ACVVS volunteers do not undertake any clinical or home care duties as part of their visits.

Contact us if you’re interested in becoming a volunteer visitor or if you think you would benefit from visits.
