Welcoming our newest volunteers!

Thursday 23 October 2025

Volunteer Services held their most recent Volunteer Induction on Wednesday October 15, with the day ending up a great success. The induction day introduced 13 new Ballarat volunteers joining the Grampians Health team!

The induction day was the perfect opportunity for our newest team members to learn more about the vital role of volunteering within our health service, gain insights into Grampians Health, and understand the impact they’ll have on the lives of patients, families, and staff.

Throughout the day, volunteers completed all mandatory training requirements and participated in a range of engaging sessions. These included learning about the Base Hospital Redevelopment, exploring the importance of active listening, understanding empathy versus sympathy, and receiving hands-on training in safe wheelchair handling.

Most importantly, they were warmly welcomed into a well-supported team that makes a difference every single day.

We’re excited to see the positive contributions these volunteers will bring, and we thank them for choosing to be part of our community.
