Volunteer as a Hospital Friend and make a positive contribution to patients
Be there for patients, their whanau and friends. As a "Friend of the Emergency Department (FED)" and "Hospital Friend" you will offer comfort, information, and support to patients within the Emergency Care Centre.
We ask volunteers to commit to one shift a week or fortnightly, to cover a roster of three four-hour shifts per day (morning, afternoon and evening), every day of the week (Monday to Sunday) and 52 weeks of the year.
If you would like to make a unique and valuable contribution to the community and feel you have the following qualities, then we would like to hear from you.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
