Redcliffe Hospital Information

We have on and off over the years, but we have made the very difficult decision to say no to volunteer requests for now and the foreseeable future. Why? Well, a volunteer deserves a lot of attention and support, especially in a place as dynamic and unpredictable as a Youth Centre where we are frequently encountering young people with some pretty extreme behaviours and issues. Unfortunately, our team doesn't have the capacity to support volunteers at this time. That makes us pretty sad, because volunteers are an amazing resource and an important part of our industry, but we're not one of the big state wide or national community organisations that can set aside staff to train and supervise volunteers. We've got a great sized staff team but everyone of them is doing the work of at least two people because the simple reality of our industry is there is always need. People are going through hard times - particularly now, and that is certainly being reflected in our day to day business. We've decided to dedicate every second of our day to addressing that need and it doesn't leave us much time for anything else. We feel that is the most responsible use of the money we are awarded to do the work we do. If you are looking to volunteer somewhere and need some help with that, we know some of those big orgs really well. We work with many of them and are happy to approach them on your behalf so you can get the volunteer opportunity you're looking for.
