Interview
Once we've received your enquiry form we will contact you to discuss any questions you may have. If you are happy to proceed, we will organise a suitable time to meet for an interview.
During your interview you can tell us about your skills, interests and availability and roles that interest you.
You will be requested to bring 100 points of ID with you. You will be asked to complete the forms for Criminal Record and Working with Children Checks, and Health status which are mandatory for all paid and unpaid workers in NSW Area Health.

While most volunteering takes place during office hours, you can volunteer at evenings and weekends too, depending on what you want to do and your availability. Within the hospital, our volunteer workers are part of the team and are rostered on to a shift. If working in the community then the hours are more flexible. If your circumstances change, we can always be flexible.
