The Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre is advertising this role on behalf of Tabulam & Templer Homes for the Aged (TTHA).

Older individuals, particularly those from culturally and linguistically diverse or complex vulnerability backgrounds, are at a higher risk of social isolation with negative impact on their health. You can help us in making a positive change, improving the wellbeing of an older person.

  TTHA supports community-based organisations in the recruitment and matching of volunteers under the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS), aiming to provide companionship through voluntary visits to socially isolated recipients of government-subsidised residential aged care and home care packages.

  Support older people in maintaining a social connection and improving their quality of life in an aged care facility or in their private home.

  You could:

• Provide companionship over a cuppa
• Teach or learn a new language or skill
• Make music together
• Play card and board games
• Discuss sport, politics, or history
• Bring your own ideas; be creative

  We look forward to hearing from you.
