Volunteers Needed
Ostomy Tasmania would be unable to provide our service to members without the valuable assistance provided by our volunteers. Volunteers receive and warehouse stock, pick and pack orders and prepare parcels for distribution by Australia Post. Volunteers also assist with IT, database and website management. We are extremely grateful for the contribution they make.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, and can commit to a regular time period on one or more of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday mornings, we would welcome your help.
Please contact Sue on 6228 0799 or email [email protected].
