KCV receives funding from the Department of Human Services to provide a Pet Companion Program. The Pet Companion Program aims to support frail and isolated older people and people with disabilities to keep their pets as long as possible. The program uses trained volunteers to support people in petcare. Volunteers help people with tasks like grooming, trips to the vet, exercising pets and is also a comprehensive resource of information for people enquiring about petcare in the local area. This new and innovative project has been running for two years now and has a client base of around 65 people. If you have any questions, or would like to become part of the program, please contact Lynda on (03) 9729 9499 and she will be happy to help.
