Modified on Wed, 30 Jul at 1:44 PM

Gain an understanding of the National Standards for Volunteer Involvement - Standard 4:  Recruitment is equitable and diversity is valued and how to implement the standard into your organisation.


Standard 4 outlines that volunteer recruitment and selection strategies meet the needs of the organisation and volunteers; they facilitate and value diversity and promote equity and accessibility. 

This is achieved by ensuring: 


  • Volunteer recruitment and selection strategies meet the needs of the organisation and volunteers.
  • Using planned and innovative approaches to attract people with relevant interests, knowledge and skills.
  • Volunteers are selected based on their interests, knowledge, skills and suitability for the role.
  • Diversity, inclusivity and accessibility principles are built into recruitment.


Join Sector Development Coordinator, Alice Anderson, for a deep dive into Standard 4: Recruitment is equitable and diversity is valued whilst providing pragmatic ways to meet this standard in your volunteer program and organisation.
