About Us
We Understand How Lonely It Can Be
Mackay Community Visitors Association was formed in 1990 by a man whose mother felt isolated and lonely living in an aged care facility. The Queensland Government established a pilot program for aged care visits and we’re one of the first organisations in Australia to implement the program. Following increased Government support, we’ve now grown into the formalised and professional support service you see today.
Vital Government funding allowed us to begin home visits in 1999. Since then, we’ve expanded significantly, developing the
transport
and
NDIS side of our operation.
