Community Visitors Scheme (CVS)

The Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) is a national program that provides companionship to socially isolated people living in Australian Government-funded aged care homes.

The Community Visitors Scheme arranges community volunteers to visit selected residents on a regular, one-to-one basis. It is funded by the Australian Government and operates in every State and Territory.

Any resident whose quality of life could be improved by the companionship of a regular community visitor can be referred to the Community Visitors Scheme by an aged care home.
