NSW Health WSLHD Volunteer Manual

14. Hospital Access Pass

15. Uniform and Name Badge

If a uniform and\or name badge are provided as part of your role, you must wear them while rostered so you are easily recognisable to patients, staff and public. All clothing must be appropriate attire, clean and in good repair and shoes must be closed-in. Volunteers are to maintain a high degree of personal cleanliness and hygiene at all times. If provided with a uniform &\or name badge, Volunteers are required to keep their uniform in good repair and wear name badge at chest height. Uniform and badge must be worn at all times while on official WSLHD duties. This can include directly to & from the hospital, but at no other times. Volunteers should be aware that at such times they are representatives of WSLHD and should act accordingly. The Volunteer Manager will issue a uniform for designated Volunteers after Volunteers have completed their training or probationary period. Uniforms will be replaced if needed after normal use, but in the event that a uniform is lost or damaged, a new uniform is to be purchased at the Volunteer’s expense. When a Volunteer ceases association with WSLHD, the uniform and name badge are to be returned to the Volunteer Manager.

Each Volunteer is issued with an identification pass, including photo ID, linked to their StaffLink number. This pass is to be worn at all times while on duty. It is to be used to access authorised locations only and while on duty only. Please be aware the locations accessed can be traced for each individual pass. Keep this pass safe and do not allow others to use it. The pass remains the property of WSLHD and must be returned if a Volunteer ceases Volunteering.
