CINC is currently seeking volunteer/visitors to take part in the Community Visitors Scheme (CVS).
The CVS is an initiative of the Australian Government Department of Health, a free service to help older people maintain social connection.
Volunteer/visitors provide an hour of their time each fortnight to provide friendship and companionship to the older people in our community.
Volunteering as a community visitor can be a rewarding experience and by becoming friends with an older person, you can make a positive difference to their lives as well as your own.
Alternatively, do you know someone who would benefit from becoming a recipient?
CVS visits are available to anyone receiving government-subsidised residential aged care or Home Care Packages, including people who are approved and on a waiting list for residential care or home care packages.
To find out more about the scheme contact Bronwyn Sainsbury on 6340 1100.
