Is your New Year’s resolution to volunteer with a charity or organisation?

It is important to note that a volunteer does not generally fall under the definition of a worker under the Workers’ Compensation and Injury Management Act 1981.

It is encouraged you check your charity or organisation covers you with an appropriate insurance policy, which may cover a portion of your salary if you cannot attend your usual paid work as a result of an injury while volunteering. For more information, call WorkCover WA’s Advice and Assistance line on 1300 794 744. ... See MoreSee Less
