The Volunteer Services Unit is recruiting musicians to play music in the public spaces within the hospital. The live performances aim to positively enhance the hospital environment and create healing environments for patients. The Princess Alexandra Hospital embraces the cultural diversity of our community and we encourage people from all cultural and musical backgrounds to apply and participate.

Music and performances

• Individuals and groups, both small and large, will be considered based on their ability to perform calming, relaxing and uplifting music.
• For each performance the baseline expectation is that volunteers will play well-rehearsed music, of approximately 10 songs or pieces, on their own portable instruments.
• The usual session duration is approximately 1 hour mid-morning each weekday, however there will be some flexibility based on individual availability.
