Accessible Diversity Services Initiative Limited - Community Visitor Scheme (CVS)

We are a community based, non-profit organisation established to promote the principles of multiculturalism, access, equity and social justice and committed to developing strategies for all Australians, especially special needs groups such as refugees, women, youth, children, families, the elderly, the unemployed, the homeless and people with a disability.

The Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) is an Australian Government funded program to recruit volunteers to visit older people in residential aged care or those in receipt of a Home Care package who are socially isolated. These volunteers provide friendship and companionship through visits either one-on-one or in a small group setting.

We recruit, train and support voluntary visitors from different backgrounds and matches them with residents considering cultural appropriateness, interests, time and others. To get a digital or hard copy CVS flyer you can download and print the Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) Flyer, find translated versions in 63 languages at Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) Flyer translations and order printed copies (at no cost) through the NMM Order Form.

By befriending an older person, you can make a positive difference. Senior Australians in aged care are from all social and cultural backgrounds and we encourage all volunteers.
