Do I have to be a bereaved parent to volunteer?

Not everyone who volunteers with us has lost a baby or child, but all of our volunteers have a sensitivity towards and empathy for the experience of bereaved families.

We have a range of non-support-based volunteer roles that anyone is welcome to apply for. You may be interested in becoming a Health Professional Liaison volunteer or an event volunteer.

From time to time we also recruit volunteers with specific skills such as photography or journalism.

In the late 1990’s an Older Loss group was established by Sands Victoria to bring together the parents of babies who died prior to the early 1980’s, when hospitals took stillborn babies, and those who died as a newborn, away and buried unknown locations. Parents were not able to see or hold their babies.
