Are you interested in becoming a Support Volunteer?

Full training and support is given to Trainee Support Volunteers, starting with initial training in listening skills. You will be rostered with experienced volunteers and will receive on-going support from the Centre Co-ordinator, Support Volunteer Leaders and the Centre Psychotherapist.

We ask our Support Volunteers to be available for two sessions of duty per month and to attend a monthly Support Volunteer Meeting. Support Volunteers are also encouraged to help out with workshops, public education talks, support groups and administration work, if they are interested in any of these areas.

We are particularly interested in hearing from you if you have had a cancer diagnosis or have cared for, or lost, a loved one who had a cancer diagnosis. (However in these cases, we ask that you be two years post treatment or post bereavement before you get involved in volunteering with the Centre.)

The Centre is committed to providing support for men, as well as women, with a cancer diagnosis, so we are particularly interested in hearing from prospective male Support Volunteers.

To apply, please contact the Centre for an Application Form.
