Volunteers play an important role at Women's College Hospital, as they have throughout the hospital's history. Our volunteers come from many walks of life, all age groups - students through seniors - each with unique skills to contribute. We have a dedicated group of over 130 active volunteers who work alongside busy healthcare teams in more than 30 areas of the hospital.

• Waiting Room Volunteers assist and support patients and their families who are waiting for medical tests or procedures.
• Information Desk Volunteers greet patients and visitors who enter the hospital and offer directions and information.
• Gift Shop Volunteers run the shop in the main lobby.
• Used-Book Sales Group volunteers organize monthly sales of donated used books, generating income for the hospital.
• Other Volunteers  provide much-needed assistance to staff in areas including:
  • Medical Imaging
  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Day Care
  • Family Practice
  • Osteoporosis
  • Urgent Care Centre

Volunteering at Women's is a rewarding experience. Whether you are looking to help other people, give something back, engage in a unique community, or gain experience in a healthcare setting, there is a role for you at Women's College Hospital.

Volunteer roles are available Monday to Friday (daytime hours only). Unfortunately we do not offer evening and weekend roles.
