In light of National Volunteer Week (16-22 May 2022), it’s a timely reminder to note that a volunteer does not fall under the definition of a worker under the Workers’ Compensation and Injury Management Act 1981. If you’re a volunteer or looking to volunteer in the future, have a chat with the organisation or business you are wanting to volunteer with to find out if they have a suitable insurance policy which will cover you in the event of an injury. For more information, call WorkCover WA’s Advice and Assistance line on 1300 794 744. ... See MoreSee Less
