Volunteer Testimonial

Volunteering has given me the opportunity to work with people who are needing support. It allows me to give back to the organisations that have helped me and to those who are important to me - Narelle

Student Testimonial

Doing volunteer research on site with MESHA has been a very valuable experience. It has helped me to develop my skills in a supportive and welcoming environment… I would highly recommend internship/volunteering/placement at MESHA to anyone in the health space interested in research. Working alongside the very supportive staff and fellow students has been paramount to my development as a new researcher.
