Volunteering

Volunteers at the ONJ Centre are an important part of the team supporting our patients, carers and visitors. The volunteer's role is to enact the ONJ Centre vision statement “You Matter,” helping to make sure every patient, carer, relative and visitor feel that they are cared for. Whether it is a smile, a friendly chat, or providing information about programs and services, volunteers can easily help to ease some of the emotional stress and anxiety experienced by patients and their loved ones by providing practical and emotional support.
