Welcome to the Club Doctors
Website!
In Australia alone, around one in three residents volunteer
their time in some capacity. In Western
Australia, volunteers contribute more than $800 million a year
worth of “free” labour to the economy.
Recognising
this contribution, the Rotary Club of
Bunbury Leschenault, has established the Club
Doctors' service to provide an extra level of
support to volunteers and Not-For-Profit
organisations.
Club
Doctors is a free counselling service for our
region’s not-for-profit organisations, providing advice to enhance
the work these volunteers provide for our
community.
Club
Doctors is run by volunteer counsellors experienced
in their respective professional fields, and has been working to
empower community leaders to improve the effectiveness of our
community organisations.
The Club Doctors'
service includes advice on:
- effective
committees
- growth
programs
- conflict resolution
- assistance with financial
matters
- volunteer
recruitment
- fundraising
Simply call the Club
Doctors' hotline 0488 914
611 during business hours (9am - 5pm) to set up a
confidential appointment with a counsellor. The
counsellor can discuss the matter with you by telephone, or arrange
a meeting as required.
The service provides practical advice on how to go about
solving problems. It is not aimed at undertaking
work on behalf of community organisations.
If you think Club
Doctors can benefit your organisation or
club, call us 0488 914 611 or email
us at clubdoctors@hotmail.com
Club
Doctors is a
Rotary initiative substantially funded by the State
Government of Western Australia through the South West Development
Commission and
supported by Volunteer
South West and the South Western Times
Group.
