RBWH Foundation Volunteer Lavinia Arias<\/p><\/div>\n

RBWH Foundation is looking for highly motivated, flexible and committed volunteers for RBWH and the brand-new STARS specialist rehabilitation facility – the largest in the southern hemisphere.<\/strong><\/p>\n

University student Lavinia Arias began volunteering for RBWH Foundation in Year 11 and the decision ultimately changed the course of her life. Lavinia is now studying a Bachelor of Medical Imaging at QUT.<\/p>\n

\u201cVolunteering definitely influenced me because I love being in the hospital environment. It made me really want to be part of the health field and I\u2019m loving it,\u201d said Lavinia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is such a diverse age group and it\u2019s really rewarding. When you play bingo in the renal wards, you see how much patients enjoy and benefit from it – it\u2019s really great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lavinia is now applying for part-time medical imaging assistant positions and a reference from the RBWH Foundation is proudly included in her resume.<\/p>\n

If you know a student studying health or a semi-retiree looking for the challenge of working in a dynamic environment, please urge them to register.<\/p>\n
