Volunteering with The Water Well Project

Want to volunteer with us?

The Water Well Project relies on volunteer healthcare professionals to facilitate health education sessions in migrant, refugee and asylum seeker communities in Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania. Volunteers are well supported by The Water Well Project’s Health Educators and Project Coordinator. We ask that volunteers commit to facilitating a minimum of three sessions per year. 

Please see below for information about eligibility to volunteer with The Water Well Project. 

 

Volunteer Eligibility

Please view our Volunteer Eligibility requirements HERE

We require all prospective volunteers to attend a compulsory induction workshop prior to becoming active volunteers with our organisation. The induction will tell you more about what we do and the impact of your volunteering efforts plus introduce the skills involved with running health education sessions. If you are an eligible healthcare professional volunteer and would like to join our volunteering team in providing health education sessions to communities from migrant, refugee and asylum seeker background, please register to attend our next induction workshop below.

You will learn about our organisation The Water Well Project and what we’re about, how you can contribute as a healthcare professional facilitator and some tips around how to facilitate interactive education and work effectively with an interpreter.

 

All scheduled Induction Workshops have been completed.

Please complete this form to be the first to hear about our future Induction Dates.
