The Volunteer Handbook is a summary of FBA’s Policies & Procedures relative to engaging and managing Volunteers for Project works. This booklet is an essential resource offered to FBA’s regular volunteers and to supervisors of both ad-hoc and regular volunteers to ensure that the time shared with FBA is a rewarding experience.

FBA is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for all workers, and other persons, so far as reasonably practicable. This will be achieved by management and employees working together, following a program of health and safety activities and procedures which are monitored, reviewed and audited to achieve best practice.

Volunteer Personal Accident Insurance provides cover to FBA volunteers. The attached policy outlines your scope of cover.

The purpose of this Code is to describe the standards of behaviour and conduct expected from workplace participants in their dealings with landholders, stakeholders, community, coworkers, management and the general public. This Policy applies to all employees, agents and contractors (including temporary contractors) of the organisation, collectively referred to in this Policy as ‘workplace participants’.

The objectives of FBA’s performance and misconduct policy are to: (a) correct and/or improve the standard of conduct of an employee where appropriate or necessary; and (b) provide any particular employee with an opportunity to correct unacceptable conduct (other than in situations where summary dismissal is appropriate).

FBA aims to provide an environment where employees and others in the workplace are treated fairly, with respect and are free from unlawful discrimination, harassment, vilification and bullying. This Policy applies to all employees, agents and contractors (including temporary contractors) of the organisation, collectively referred to in this Policy as ‘workplace participants’.
