Physio Balance Program

Assist us deliver a successful and proven adults balance program: Active LiFE at the Chris Gahan Centre in Prahran.

The group will be run on Tuesdays from 9:30am – 11:00am  An OT, Physio and Allied Health Assistant will run the session with support from the volunteers to facilitate some of the physical exercises.

The group runs for 10 weeks, so a 10 week commitment is preferred from volunteers.

We need the volunteers to be able to facilitate some of the physical exercises offered in the group – so that would involve demonstrating the exercise and sometimes providing close supervision for the more challenging exercises that may put participants off balance.

The exercises are coordinated by the OT and Physio and AHA in the group and the volunteers would be taking direction from those clinicians in the group for each session.  There would be some set up and pack up also required (equipment, chairs etc).
There may be the need for light hands on support but no manual handling will be required by the volunteers.
