Many of our communities wouldn’t run without volunteers, from firies to sports clubs, we need to support those giving up their time to their communities.
We have a comprehensive plan to support over 50,000 Western Australian volunteers annually, eliminating unnecessary costs and introducing protections to make volunteering easier and more accessible.
The Nationals in Government will waive fees for Working with Children Checks (WWCC), National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) checks, and National Police Certificates for volunteers, including students on unpaid placements.
We have also committed an additional $100,000 annually to Volunteering WA to enhance their capacity to support volunteers during emergencies.
Volunteers consistently put their communities first, it’s time we follow suit.
