Volunteering & Volunteer Students

Volunteering Australia’s National Survey of Volunteering Issues 2007 shows that “individual’s out-of-pocket expenses continue to present significant challenges for volunteers and for organisations that involve volunteers.  27% of volunteers said that out-of-pocket expenses have had a direct impact on their volunteering in the past 12 months.  

Working with children checks, police checks and addressing OSH issues were also frequently raised by volunteers and organisations as requirements that have an impact on volunteering.”  More info can be found on Volunteering Australia's website
