The SA Community Visitor Scheme
The South Australian Community Visitor Scheme (CVS) plays an essential role in promoting the wellbeing, dignity, safety and rights of people who are:
- living with a mental health condition and receiving care from a mental health service
- under the guardianship of the Public Advocate and participants in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
- living with disability in a state-run disability service.
In 2026, the scope of the Community Visitor Scheme will expand. It will be available to any person in South Australia who receives disability-related support, services or treatment and chooses to be part of the CVS.
The Community Visitor Scheme is a volunteer-led program. Independent, skilled Community Visitors visit and inspect accommodation, engage with residents and families, advocate for better services and protect people’s rights.
