Document background
This Unpaid Volunteer Agreement is designed for use by Australian organizations engaging volunteers in various capacities. It provides a formal framework for volunteer engagement while ensuring compliance with relevant federal and state legislation, including the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and state-based volunteering laws. The agreement is essential for organizations that rely on volunteer support, as it clearly defines the volunteer relationship, establishes expectations and responsibilities, addresses risk management, and provides necessary protections for both parties. Organizations should customize this agreement based on their specific volunteer roles, operational requirements, and relevant state jurisdiction.
