COTA ACT is a part of the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS), an Australian Government initiative that provides friendly volunteers for older people who are at risk of loneliness or social isolation.
COTA Visitors are volunteers who provide regular friendship and companionship to older people who are isolated.
If you’re interested in becoming a COTA Visitor, you can contact our friendly team on acvvs@cotaact.org.au or 6282 3777. We will be able to provide you with further details and answer any questions you may have. More detailed information on the role of a COTA Visitor can be found here.
COTA ACT also hosts regular information sessions about the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme throughout the year. Please see above for scheduled sessions.
