Community Aged Care Volunteer - Home Visiting

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for warm and friendly volunteers to provide important social connections through home visits to older South Australians.

What can you expect to be doing?

Home visiting Customers: Visiting carefully matched older South Australians in their homes, providing friendly conversation or a shared interest for an hour once a week or fortnight. Your kindness and engagement will help alleviate feelings of loneliness and social isolation.

Document Your Impact: Briefly record your visit details and email a brief update to the customer’s Care Coordinator.

Reporting: Share any customer concerns with customer’s Care Coordinator and Volunteer Coordinator.
