Welfare Services

Medical Equipment is available for loan through BUNGENDORE COMMUNITY AID INC. - free of charge. Loaned equipment should be returned clean and in good condition as soon as possible as there are many people in the community with similar needs. For this reason B.C.A. Inc. is limiting the loan period to a maximum of four weeks. An extension of time may be arranged, however, after this time a donation would be appreciated. Because B.C.A. Inc. is a charitable organisation donations are always gratefully received, as we do need to update our equipment. Equipment includes: Bath Seats, Bed Cradle, Bed Pans, Boomerang Pillow, Breast Pump-man, Car Seat Recliner, Commode Chairs, Crutches-elbow, Crutches-underarm, Hand Held Shower, Heat Lamps, Hoist & Sling, Lift & Raise Recliner, Matress Protector, Matress single-waterproof, Meal table, Nebuliser, Over Toilet Raiser, Picker-Upper, Rubber Cushion, Sheepskins, Sheepskin Slippers, Shower Chairs, Shower Stools, Single Bed Posts, Slipper Pan, Toilet Surround, Urinals-male, Vaporizer, Walking Frames, Walking Frame-wheels, Walking Sticks, Waling Sicks-4 prong, Wheelchairs.

The Australian Red Cross provides various community services, ranging from blood supplies and disaster services to first aid and refugee services. The Red Cross is active in the Bungendore area helping the most vulnerable and isolated, but is always looking for community care welfare services volunteers in the Bungendore region. Community Visitors scheme volunteers work with residents in local aged care facilities. Telecross and Telechat volunteers make regular phone calls to elderly and isolated people living at home. For those wishing to volunteer, please phone 02 6234 7632 or email volunteernow@redcross.org.au.
