Macedon Ranges Shire Council

Our commitment to volunteers

We recognise the valuable contribution to the community made by volunteers in the Macedon Ranges.

We actively engage with our volunteers to provide the necessary support and resources for them to do their role. We also try to match volunteers to roles that suit their knowledge and skills.

In addition to this, we provide:

• a safe and supportive working environment for volunteers
• sufficient induction, training and ongoing support
• Council staff and contacts for support
• insurance cover for volunteers whilst on duty, including Public Liability Cover, Professional Indemnity and Personal Accident Cover.

Volunteer Responsibilities 

Council asks all volunteers to:

• act with integrity and respect for each other, the community and Council
• comply with all legislative requirements, relevant operational manuals and procedures
• align themselves with Council’s Organisational Values.
