Hi everyone
My name is Melinda (Mel) and I live in Victoria Australia. I have been a volunteer at an aged care hostel for nearly 4 years now and am currently training to be an activities assistant. I may go on to become a fully fledged AD, or Diversional Therapists as they are known here in Aust.
I have a pet peeve and that is the personal carers and other staff don't take DT seriously, and we get treated as a tea lady (and I hate tea!).
Anyway, I'll stop ranting, I don't want to scare anyone.
