Volunteers also help out in Ararat in the Inpatient Unit, Toy Library and Community Health Centre.

The health service also acknowledges the exceptional work the four auxiliaries contribute and their tireless efforts in continually fundraising for the purchase and replacement of vital equipment at both Ararat and Willaura. Their ongoing generosity, in conjunction with many community supporters has enabled the health service to have available the best facilities and equipment for the community.

In all, some 120 loyal volunteers assist East Grampians Health Service regularly in some way and contribute so much to the life of the health service. Their contribution to the many areas play a significant role in providing entertainment, understanding, special skills, a sense of humour and friendship for patients, clients, residents and staff.

East Grampians Health Service is continually welcoming new volunteers from the community to help grow our volunteer list.

To become a volunteer at East Grampians Health Service requires no particular skills to get involved and there is flexibility of times and days to suit, either on weekdays or weekends. It is a great opportunity for any retirees or people in the community who may have a little time to spare. Interested volunteers will be required to attend a short orientation session, have a police check and working with childrens check done prior to commencing.

If you are interested in more information on volunteering at either Ararat or Willaura please contact the East Grampians Health Service Volunteer Coordinator.
