Townsville volunteers wanted: no one should face hospital alone

Queensland Hospital Watch is establishing a Community Support Network pilot in Townsville, connecting caring local volunteers with adult hospital patients who may have little or no family, friends or support nearby.

The idea grew from a simple act of kindness: when we became aware of a patient who needed basic essentials and had nobody locally to turn to, members of the community stepped forward to help.

Volunteers are screened and inducted, there’s no roster or minimum commitment, and volunteers are never expected to spend their own money. Find out more and register your interest.
