The launch of the Palliative Care Volunteering SA project here in South Australia.
Tuesday, April 30 2024
Palliative Care Volunteering SA is here to champion palliative care volunteering across the state.
The project is funded by SA Health as part of the Palliative Care Connect Program. Palliative Care Volunteering SA is administered by Palliative Care SA in collaboration with Volunteering SA&NT, Northern Volunteering (SA) and Southern Volunteering (SA). This project will provide navigation, resources, education, and support to palliative care Volunteer Managers, volunteers and volunteer services and work towards building capacity in the sector.
This project is part of the Palliative Care Connect program and will focus on
- Supporting palliative care volunteers across SA
- Learning about volunteering in palliative care
- Embedding palliative care in existing volunteer programs
With the increasing need for palliative care, more volunteers are needed! The Palliative Care Volunteering SA project has the tools, resources and trainings for Volunteer Managers/Coordinators to support organisations to integrate palliative care into their existing palliative care models.
Palliative Care Volunteering SA will host and promote events and trainings to support our volunteer community through workshops, training and meet ups.
