The AMA Victoria Peer Visitor Program links elderly
and retired doctors, who mostly live in residential
care or are experiencing isolation, with a volunteer
visitor who is also a doctor. The volunteer
visits the elderly doctor on a regular basis
and provides companionship, connection,
and conversation.
