The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) is part of our Multicultural Friendship Program which connects volunteers with older people who live at home or at residential facilities in the Illawarra and would appreciate an extra visitor.  

“Everybody needs company and when you find company where you’re happy that’s a point extra,” said Brigitte who met school teacher and volunteer Annabel through the program.

The friendship program connects generations of people from different cultures. If you would like to volunteer, click here or contact Tania at MCCI on 1800 11 6224 for more information. An hour per fortnight is all that is required.

ACVVS is free and funded by the Australian Government. Read more about the nationwide program here.
