Volunteers of any kind in any activity must exercise a duty of care, to themselves and others, whether imposed by common law or by the work Health and Safety Act and Regulation 2011.

This Policy identifies and addresses:

• The duty of care imposed on both Shoalhaven City Council and Volunteer Program Workers; and
• Those other circumstances where volunteer individuals and community groups undertake activities on Council land.

Regardless of the type of volunteer activity, safety requires everyone's participation. Shoalhaven City Council's motto is "Safety is everyone's responsibility".
