About Volunteering with PCSA

Palliative Care SA considers the Volunteer Village (VoliVillage) to be the compassionate community that surrounds PCSA.

Our Villagers (the Volunteers within our Volunteer Village) are all ages, cultures, skills, and experiences. Some Villagers are located in Adelaide and others in country SA, some even work remotely. Some volunteer for a long time, while others only a short time. However, they all share a passion for helping our peak body activities that support South Australian’s to live, die and grieve well.

From contributing to policy development to supporting the delivery of programs and projects, volunteers help us to reach and support people in the community and achieve our goals.

We are seeking the support of passionate and dedicated volunteers.

If you are interested in volunteering:

1. Please contact us – by emailing volivillage@palliativecaresa.org.au and provide us your CV or brief background, as well as the volunteer role you are interested in and your availability
2. We will connect with you and discuss our volunteering program
3. If we are a good match, we contact your referees and then organise a brief orientation which includes:
   • Read our VoliVillage Handbook
   • Provide a police clearance
   • Sign our PCSA Volunteer Agreement
   • Sign relevant volunteer role description
   • Complete a short Volunteer Induction Training

Then we are good to go and schedule you for your volunteer shifts.
