The Limestone Coast Local Health Network are looking for Ward Visit volunteers for permanent shifts within the Mount Gambier Hospital.

Volunteers are required to meet COVID19 vaccinations requirements, as per the governments mandate and provide evidence of their COVID vaccinations to the Volunteer Coordinator before commencements.

Our Ward Visit volunteers provide our inpatients requiring a visitor with a chance to have a chat, go for a walk, sit in the gardens, playing card games or giving a puzzle pack to complete and getting a vase or something to put their flowers in. These volunteers can also assist with specialised 1 on 1 visits for inpatients that have a special interest (e.g. cars, farming etc.). This role is all about making their stay within the hospital environment as comfortable for them as possible as no one likes being in hospital.

Country Health Connect will ensure you have ongoing support and training.

• We require all volunteers to have their DHS Aged Care and Working with Children Clearances prior to commencement.
• We also require all volunteers to provide the Volunteer Coordinator with evidence of their COVID-19 vaccinations.
