Found 2 Disability Services Counselling & Help Line, volunteering opportunities in Australia

Are you keen to support people in your community who have a cognitive or mental disability? Many of those living in supported care environments rely on Community Visitors to listen to their concerns, and ensure that their living environment is meeting their needs well. If you have passion and commitment to make a difference and to stand up for the rights of people with a disability, then this may be the perfect role for you!

Community Visitors visit Victorian accommodation facilities for people with disability or mental illness in their local area. They monitor and report on the adequacy of the services provided and, where possible, communicate with residents or patients to ensure they are being treated with dignity and respect. Community Visitors are Victorian Governor in Council appointees, are appointed for a three-year term, and have significant powers of entry and inspection.
