Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS)

STAR Friends is a free service providing quality social connections for those on a Home Care Package or on the national waitlist for a Home Care Package.

If you or someone you know, would enjoy seeing a friendly visitor once a fortnight who will come to your home and spend quality time with you, please reach out to STAR.

Your STAR Friend will be matched with you based on your interests and hobbies.

You can choose to simply enjoy a cuppa and chat, or

• go for a walk or an outing in the community
• play games together such as chess, cards
• do arts and crafts
• rekindle hobbies
• play or listen to music, connect with your friends and family, using technology, and more!

The service is available in Toowoomba, Darling Downs, Ipswich & West Moreton, Brisbane South / Redlands, and Logan.
