HUMAN RIGHTS AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
Volunteers & the Equal Opportunity Act 2010 Information Pack

Volunteering Victoria have created an information pack to help organisations understand and meet their responsibilities toward volunteers under the Equal Opportunity Act 2010.

The legislation commencing 1st August 2011 is designed to improve the way we combat discrimination and sexual harassment in Victoria.

For volunteers, the change will mean new protections against sexual harassment. For organisations there will be some practical implications for the way volunteering is coordinated.

WHAT’S IN THE PACK?

• A fact sheet outlining the legislation’s impact on volunteering
• A sample policy and procedures document
• Links to more resources on the web (within fact sheet)
• Options for further advice and training
