2010 Survey of palliative care volunteers in Victoria
In November 2010 the Victorian Managers of Volunteers Network undertook a snapshot telephone survey of all Victorian Managers/Coordinators of Volunteers to determine the number of palliative care volunteers in Victoria.
Thanks to this work, Palliative Care Victoria now has an up to date listing of all palliative care volunteer services in Victoria and some guiding statistics to support future monitoring of service growth.
This snap shot demonstrated that Victoria has 54 services with 1,730 registered palliative care volunteers. A total of 1,329 of this number were directly supporting clients.
