Popular questions about

Community Visitors Scheme

How do I refer someone to access the CVS program?

The Community Visitors Scheme may be accessed by a referral from your aged care home care package provider or the residential aged care facility to our CVS Coordinator. You may refer direct to our CVS Coordinator who can progress your referral with your agency.

How often are the visits?

We encourage our volunteers to visit weekly.

Can I go out into the community with the volunteer or are the visits in the home only?

Generally the visits occur in the home. In some instances it may be possible to go out with a volunteer visitor, and this can be discussed with the CVS Coordinator at the time of referral.
