Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS)

Keeping the community connected: For older people, maintaining social connection isn’t always easy.

The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) is a national program funded by the Australian Government.

This program aims to enrich the quality of life of our ageing communities who may be lonely or isolated from friends and family. CatholicCare Sydney works to connect volunteers with older people for friendship and connection through regular home visits.
