Volunteer with us

Volunteers at the Women's keep patients at the heart of everything we do

Volunteers at the Women's contribute to creating exceptional experiences for patients and visitors.

Volunteers deliver non-clinical front-line services, designed to complement exceptional patient experience. The Women’s Volunteer Program is part of the People and Patient Experience Directorate.

We play a key role in enhancing the experience of patients and visitors by championing person-centred service and harnessing the energy of skilled patient-centred volunteers.

Volunteers are an integral and valued part of our hospital. Volunteers operate across many areas of the hospital, and as our patients’ needs evolve, so too does our range of volunteer activities.

We work with the community to attract the right volunteer skills and expertise to expand and diversify our support.

The Women’s Volunteer Program aligns with the National Standards for Volunteer Involvement, the Victorian Volunteer Strategy 2022-2027 and the National Strategy for Volunteering 2023-2033.

The Women’s Volunteer Program is committed to creating an environment that values diversity, promotes an inclusive culture and establishes a sense of belonging for everyone in our community.
