Quality Management and Continuous Improvement

Effective volunteer involvement results from a system of good practice, review and continuous improvement.

Quality management and continuous improvement ensures that the organisation has a way of monitoring how well its involvement of volunteers is working and identifying ways of improving the outcomes for both volunteers and your organisation. 

Opportunities can be provided for volunteers to provide feedback about the organisation’s volunteer involvement.

National Standards for Volunteer Involvement

The National Standards for Volunteer Involvement provide a best practice framework for supporting the volunteer sector in Australia providing a useful tool for organisations.

The National Standards for Volunteer Involvement are practical and can be easily adapted to different organisations and types of volunteering.

View our training calendar for National Standards Workshops which assists organisations to prepare and plan for their implementation with the guidance of experienced facilitators and support from the sector.
