Recruiting, inducting and managing volunteers

Do you need help understanding and implementing the key legal requirements for volunteers? Justice Connect’s Not-for-profit Law program is here to help you navigate the process.

We've developed three e-learning modules on recruiting, inducting and managing volunteers – provided exclusively to members of the Victorian Men’s Shed Association and Neighbourhood Houses Victoria, thanks to funding from the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing.

E-learning modules

Each e-learning module includes interactive activities, instructional videos and realistic scenarios to help your organisation make sense of complex laws. The modules will take approximately 30-minutes to complete and consist of three 10-minute sections that address key legal considerations.

Managing Volunteers

This module will help you get the best out of your volunteers by assisting your organisation to understand and follow a clear process of managing the performance of volunteers. It will also empower your organisation to manage any grievances in a transparent and fair manner and end the relationship professionally.
