Refer an older person for visits

During a visit a volunteer and older person can do anything they both feel like doing, so why not:

• enjoy a chat over a cup of tea

• take a walk

• work on a joint hobby together

Anyone can refer an older person to be matched with a volunteer visitor, including their aged care service provider, family and friends, or they can refer themselves.

To be eligible, an older person must be receiving government-funded residential aged care or a Home Care Package. This includes care recipients approved or on the National Priority System and excludes those with a Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP).
