Australian Red Cross - Social Support (Visiting) - VIC
From a cup of tea in the garden to watching a match at the local sports club, our Visiting program is all about bringing people together to connect and share experiences.
When you sign up for the program, we’ll match you with a local Australian Red Cross volunteer with similar interests. They’ll come to visit you every week or fortnight. These visits can take place at home, in town, or at any other venue that suits you both.
Australian Red Cross - Social Support (Telephone Contact) - VIC
Telecross is a telephone check-in service that helps you start the day with an act of human connection. Every morning, you’ll receive a phone call from one of our friendly volunteers who’s keen to find out how you are.
Telecross operates 365 days a year. What makes it unique is that our callers check on the whole person (that’s you!), rather than focusing on a single aspect of your life.
Build community connections from the safety of home with Telechat, a phone-based social service. Telechat can help you meet new people and stay connected to the wider world through regular phone calls with an Australian Red Cross volunteer.
When you sign up for Telechat, we’ll match you with a volunteer who shares your interests, background, values or culture. You tell us what matters to you, and we’ll do our best to find a volunteer who fits the bill.

Telecross - A phone call a day to make sure you're ok
Provides peace of mind if you are at risk of an accident or illness that may go unnoticed, such as falling and being unable to call for help. Friendly volunteers make calls each morning, 365 days a year. If the call is not answered, Red Cross will take action to make sure you are OK. Even if you have visitors during the week, a phone call first thing in the morning can make a difference if an emergency response is required. The calls provide reassurance as well as help to maintain independence.
TeleYARN - A weekly Social Chat
Sometimes it can be difficult to get out to social activities and you might not always have someone to talk to. Your friendly Red Cross volunteer will call you each week to share in conversation and connect with you. It can be really nice to know that someone is interested in you and is looking forward to chatting with you.
