Dokka Life is looking for volunteers to support our upcoming free community health education session at Mackie Road Neighbourhood House.
Our session, “Understanding the Importance of Weight Management and Safe, Simple Home-Based Exercise for Healthy Ageing”, will help community participants understand weight management in a realistic and supportive way, and learn a few simple, low-impact movements that can be safely incorporated into everyday home routines.
This is not a fitness class or a full exercise program. The session will focus on general health education, gentle movement demonstration, a short guided practice, and practical everyday tips for staying active at home.
We are looking for volunteers who are interested in public health, health promotion, nutrition, exercise science, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, pharmacy, community engagement, aged care, health education, or wellbeing programs.
**Volunteer responsibilities may include: **
- Attending a short online pre-training session
- Helping prepare and pack education materials
- Assisting with participant registration
- Welcoming participants on arrival
- Supporting the presenter during small group activities
- Helping participants follow general instructions during the session
- Assisting with feedback forms
- Helping with event setup and pack-up
Volunteers will not be expected to provide individual medical, dietary, physiotherapy or exercise advice. The role is designed to support general community health education and participant engagement.
This opportunity may be suitable for students or community members who are interested in health promotion, community wellbeing, healthy ageing, public health, nutrition, exercise and mobility, or community education.
