Volunteer Applications and Expressions of Interest
Volunteer applications are a person’s first official interactions with your organisations. It is important that this is kept as minimal as possible, and gather more information during the recruitment process.
Many organisations have outdated volunteer application forms, some totalling up to 12 pages of information required as a first point of contact!
Expressions of Interest (EOI) are a great way to connect with a potential volunteer, get some basic information to get them started in the process of signing up.
Volunteerability Referral Form
Want to refer a client? Referrals must be 18 or over and identify a barrier or disability which prevents them from volunteering.
You do not need to have a NDIS plan. Our service is free.
Simply fill it out with the relevant details and email to volunteerability@orana.asn.au
