Return Of Volunteers

After a two-and-a-half-year hiatus, we are finally allowed to welcome volunteers back into the facility. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact Julie at the hospital. Volunteers are an integral part of our residents’ lifestyle program, assisting with games, activities, crafts, cooking and outings. It is great to be able to have them back on board!

New Furniture Seasons

Early in the year, we were fortunate enough to receive some funding from the Tatura Bowls Club which enabled us to purchase some lovely new outdoor furniture for our residents and their visitors to enjoy. We are very grateful for the fundraising efforts and support of local groups.

Community Reference Committee

The Community Reference Committee has been working hard throughout the year and would love to see some new faces on the committee. If you have ever thought about joining a community group, this is a great opportunity to get involved and give something back to the local community and hospital facility. Contact the hospital for more information if you’re interesed in being invovled.

Interpreter Services

If you require an interpreter when visiting the hospital, ask a GV Health staff member.

December 2022

During the year we have placed emphasis on our ‘Garden to Plate’ project, which involved planting a variety of vegetables and herbs and using our harvest to create fresh, homegrown meals for our residents. This project was nominated for an award – unfortunately we didn’t win, but we were finalists. A great effort and result for all involved!

On behalf of Goulburn Valley Health and everyone at our Tatura Campus, we wish you a happy and safe festive season. While this year has not been without difficulties, GV Health and the community have come together to overcome them. We are grateful for the support from the community, local businesses and service providers. Have a great festive season and we look forward to continue providing excellent care and services to everyone in 2023.

The Tatura Hospital Ladies Auxiliary works tirelessly to raise funds for our facility. They are conducting their annual Christmas Hamper raffle with ticket sales available in Tatura on December 8, 9, 10, 16 and 17. Volunteers willing to assist with ticket sales down the street would be much appreciated. The raffle will be drawn on December 17.
