St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital's volunteer department plays a vital role in the day to day activities of the hospital. We provide our volunteers with orientation, training, free parking and lunch, and offer a variety of tasks.

St Andrew’s has around 40 dedicated volunteers, some of whom have been helping the hospital for more than 20 years. Volunteers assist with a range of crucial tasks including staffing the information desk in the main reception area, escorting patients to their rooms, helping with surgical admissions, flower care and administration support.

Hospital Auxiliary

Members of St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital’s Auxiliary have played an important role in the hospital for well over 50 years. Their fundraising efforts throughout the late 1940s and 1950s helped finance the initial construction of the hospital.

Today, not only do their activities result in significant financial donations to the hospital each year, but more importantly, their compassion and devotion to St Andrew’s embodies the spirit of ‘First Class Treatment’.

As a not-for-profit organisation, St Andrew’s Hospital and Medical Institute rely upon the generosity of individuals and organisations in the community to help fund critical programs and facilities. There is an increasing need for our services and increasing costs to provide them. In a complex and competitive healthcare industry, one of the greatest challenges is finding the funds that will allow us to move forward confidently and efficiently into the future.

We invite you to help us meet these challenges by donating some of your time, talent or money to St Andrew’s. Donations can be designated for a specific purpose in the hospital, or for the Medical Institute's research or education in a specific specialty such as cardiac, orthopaedics or treatment for Parkinson's Disease.

Bequests

Donations can also be made in memory of a loved one. Many people find that a lasting and meaningful way of supporting St Andrew’s is through a bequest in their will.

As part of our vision to share our achievements with the wider heathcare community through teaching and research, St Andrew's has developed a strong commitment to medical and community education.

Over the years, the hospital has run a variety of education sessions for the general public covering topics such as 'Stroke awareness' and 'Managing Parkinson's disease'. The workshops provide a forum in which St Andrew’s specialists can update the public on the latest treatment options in their specialty area.
