Community Visitors Scheme - Australian Red Cross
The Community Visitors Scheme is a volunteer program providing one to one visits to a resident of an Aged Care Facility who may be socially isolated or would benefit by having a regular visit from the same volunteer. The visitors can spend time of social interaction in a variety of ways eg: chatting, reading, board games, music, outings if appropriate etc. but not in care work. The service operates in regional and rural areas of WA (NOT METRO) where volunteers are available and no other funded service already operates the CVS. Updated September 2008

Hi i'm a 34 year old pensioner with a disability I have recently been a victim of family violence. I have 3 children. My 10yo lizard was fed to my dogs as well as all my food in the cupboard, my front door was kicked in so currently has no door knob and can't be locked, my daughter was terrorizes where he stood in her room with a knife and all our clothing and most bedding was cut up. I have spoken to centrelink who cannot help me because the perpetrators address wasn't mine, I have tried welfare agencies who for the past 3 days have been full by the time I get through on the phone and no one seems to be concerned or worried about the after effects. If anyone can please help please let me know.
