A most rewarding choice
Working in palliative care is one of the most rewarding choices you can make. Palliative care volunteers are actively involved in offering support and companionship to people receiving palliative care, their family, and carers. The desired outcome is to reduce the burden of their distress during dying, death and bereavement. As a volunteer, you are an important part of a palliative care volunteer service and under the supervision of a manager or coordinator who oversees your activities. Join over 1600 volunteers across NSW caring for people and their families in hospitals, at home and in the community.
