The Community Visitors Scheme is all about supporting older Australians who are socially isolated and in need of someone to talk to, interactive with, do activities with. This Australian Government initiative arranges for volunteers to visit people receiving aged care services through both residential and home care. MS Connect is an auspice of the Community Visitors Scheme, which they've been doing since 1992. "Our role is to recruit, train and support volunteers to visit socially or culturally isolated people who live in Aged Care Homes. The visits are conducted on a one-to-one basis or within a group setting. Our volunteers also visit older people who live in their own home who receive a Home Care Package", MS Connect's Senior Manager and Victorian CVS State Representative Esis Tawfik said in an interview for SBS.
