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 $1 billion a year worth
of “free” labour to the economy.
Recognising
this contribution, in 2006 the Rotary Club of
Bunbury Leschenault, established the
Club Doctors' service
to provide an extra level of support to volunteers and
Not-For-Profit organisations. Since 2008 the Rotary Club of Margaret River has
provided counsellors to assist in providing the
service.
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
Rotarian counsellors experienced in their respective
professional fields, and has been working to empower community
leaders to improve the effectiveness of our community
organisations.
In the first four years of operation
Club
Doctors has provided
counselling services to more than 150 community organisations, on
over 250 occasions. 70% of these services have been provided to
organisations in the Greater Bunbury area.
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 the City
of Bunbury and the South Western Times
Group.
