Watch this fantastic film that highlights the importance of volunteering and how it contributes to the well being of communities through the commitment of heartfelt volunteers that choose to help others and give back.

You would hear some of the volunteers expressing the reasons why they chose to be a Palliative Care volunteer, such as:

“I wanted to give back to the community.”

“I wanted to turn my own grieving process into a positive experience and give back and be supportive to a family that is going through one of the most horrific times.”

The film captures the unique qualities and benefits of the program and explains the profound difference it can make to families. It also highlights the challenging nature of this role for volunteers.

The video has been produced by Clear Concept Productions and generously sponsored by Fairfield RSL, and its owned by The Children’s Hospital at Westmead.
