YMCA - Community Visitors Scheme
The Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) matches volunteer visitors with individual nursing home and hostel residents. The Scheme (funded by the Dept of Health and Ageing) provides a highly rewarding and satisfying volunteer experience whilst alleviating the loneliness and isolation experienced by older and disabled persons living in local nursing homes and hostels. Residents and visitors are individually matched, ensuring close compatibility in personality, interests and backgrounds. For example, a visitor with an interest or hobby, whether it be gardening, chess or football, will be matched as closely as possible to a resident with compatible interests. Visitors may spend time simply chatting, or perhaps go on walks, sightseeing or even shopping excursions. YMCA is responsible for 15 aged care facilities in the Parramatta Western Region.

I recently had a 5 day holiday for a family get together, and I had a friend from Sydney stay in my unit to look after my cat as I could not take here with us. Sadly, one of our neighbor's put a note on her car window, that she was not allowed to park the car there, and that she had been reported to Department of Housing. the spot she parked in is a spare spot, and not parking has been officially allocated to tenants. I spoke to dept of housing about this, and was told it was quite ok for me to have a visitor stay, and for them to use that car space and that they would notify all the tenants of this. But to date nothing has happened, and I have another trip away coming up soon, and really don't want this to happen again. Any advice would be appreciated.
