Volunteer Resource Centres’ new funding from Commonwealth from 1 July
One funding increase not to receive much publicity in the Federal Budget introduced in May was the $4.8 million expansion in funding for the Volunteer Management Program.
From 1 July this money will be available to 50 Volunteer Resource Centres to increase the training, advice and volunteer management services they offer to volunteers and not-for-profit organisations.
They will also only have to submit one set of reporting documents to the Australian Government every six months.
