Hospice Volunteers
The Role of a Volunteer
Volunteers will be trained to assist with end of life care, to meet the needs of the patient, and family carers. They will offer practical and emotional support according to circumstances and resources, allowing periods of ‘time out’ for family members.
Should professional help be required, volunteers will have access to existing 24 hour on call services e.g. District Nurses.
Training Volunteers
Volunteers will undergo a recognised Palliative Care Victoria training course, as well as ‘hands-on’ instruction relevant to end-of-life care.
The next training program commences in October 2020.
