Editor's Notes
Start by asking the difference between volunteers and paid staff? ONLY 1 – PAY! This helps to provide a context for managing volunteers: Position descriptions Codes of conduct Policies on a range of issues
Will ERC come under the Act? As the law stands, as an incorporated body and with some paid staff it will. With Victoria hedging its bets on whether it will pass harmonising legislation, it may take some time but it is likely that eventually it will apply to Victoria. In some ways IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER. You still owe a duty of care to volunteers. The difference might be whether breaches of that duty of care are pursued through prosecution under the Act or common law remedies
OH&S sits in a broader category of risk that needs to be addressed by any organisation What is the context for ERC? Substantial numbers of volunteers not-for-profit outdoor, active, physical environment duty of care to campers
If you have these in place, make sure they are applicable to volunteers. Are the workplace documents in place? Incident and near miss registers Insurance – some aspects of volunteering may be covered by public liability. Talk to your insurer and make sure you are covered. Engage with Volunteering Victoria.
Worksafe publication is still current, but that may change under the new legislation
