MiCare is looking for volunteers that can share a smile and companionship during bi-weekly friendly visits to isolated and lonely elderly people in the Northern Suburbs of the Gold Coast.

We are looking for volunteers from diverse back grounds.

At the moment we are looking for volunteers who can communicate in Tagalog, Lebanese, Macedonian, Arabic or Chinese but any other language is also usefull.

Visits may be spent talking or sharing in a simple leisure activity together. Your regular visits can make a real and positive difference in the life of these residents.

We ask volunteers to commit to fortnightly visits for at least 6 months, however this is an ongoing role and we hope to support your friendship for as long as possible.

Volunteers receive training, orientation, ongoing support, travel reimbursement and invitations to meetings together with other visiting volunteers.

This program is part of the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) - an Australian Government initiative.
