Volunteer

Volunteers play a vital role at AIU

For over three decades, AIU has delivered hands-on ultrasound education for healthcare professionals. To support this training, each week we welcome up to 100 volunteers whose participation helps make hands-on learning possible.

By participating in supervised scanning sessions, our volunteers help healthcare professionals develop and practise their ultrasound skills in a realistic learning environment, ultimately contributing to better patient care. 

Our team is committed to providing every volunteer with a friendly, respectful and comfortable experience. We are always grateful for the support of our volunteers, many of whom choose to return again and again.

What do we scan?

Heart, abdomen, gallbladder, liver and kidneys
Arteries and veins
Pelvis, uterus, prostate and bladder
Breast and thyroid
Muscles and joints
Pregnancy at all stages

In other words… most parts of the body!

We do not provide diagnostic reports, however we will advise you and your doctor of any incidental findings that may be identified.
There are typically 1-4 participants scanning per volunteer, with an experienced AIU educator present throughout the session.
We welcome volunteers of all ages.
Complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits are provided.
On-site car parking is available.
Volunteers can visit weekly, monthly or yearly – the frequency is up to you.
