About Us

The Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme (ACVVS), funded by the Australian Government, helps improve the life of an elderly person experiencing social isolation, through friendly volunteer visitations in an aged care facility or in their own home. We are looking for volunteers to support this program. Who can be an ACVVS volunteer? People who feel they would enjoy spending time with an older person, people with excellent conversation and listening skills, people who are reliable, confident, and able to work independently, people who have 1 hour a week or a fortnight to give to visit their client, people who genuinely care about the wellbeing of older people and are aged 18 years and above as per the ACVVS guidelines. Join us to make a difference in the community! Ongoing support and training are provided to ensure that you have a safe and fulfilling volunteer experience. GenU is an ACVVS auspice organisation.
