Volunteer with Barwon Gifts!
Make a difference every shift

Barwon Gifts, located at the main entrance of University Hospital, is more than just a gift shop. Staffed entirely by volunteers, all profits from the special space go to the Barwon Health Foundation, helping support patient comfort and care.

At Barwon Gifts you will find a delightful range of items, from baby and children’s gifts, homewares, confectionary, candles, and jewellery, to books, cards, and thoughtful items that can brighten a patient’s stay.

Opening hours: 10am – 2.30pm, Monday to Friday.

We’re currently recruiting friendly, community-minded volunteers who can join us as Barwon Gifts Customer Service Volunteers. Whether that’s once a week, or even just once a fortnight, we would love to hear from you.

Why volunteer with us?

  • Be part of a supportive and welcoming team.
  • Enjoy meaningful interactions with patients, visitors, and staff.
  • Work alongside a buddy. Bring a friend or bestie and volunteer together!

This is a wonderful way to give back, make connections, and make your own mark on the health of our community.
