Leading Volunteers: COVID-19

Government advice and recommendations on the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve based on new variant outbreaks and the need for community recovery.

We encourage all volunteer-involving organisations to make informed decisions and engage in preventative actions based on this advice and an assessment of their service recipients, volunteer demographics, and organisational need. This should include considering the feasibility of remote working, wearing masks in indoor settings, and encouraging volunteers to stay home if they are sick.

For the latest public health advice, please continue to monitor the Coronavirus Victoria website.
