Volunteer Agreement

A volunteer agreement template for NDIS providers that engage volunteers. It records mutual expectations without creating an employment relationship, while making the confidentiality, screening and Code of Conduct undertakings binding.

What is inside:

• Volunteer details and a statement that the arrangement is not employment
• Role description, supervisor, and what each party provides and asks
• No payment clause and expense reimbursement process
• Screening checks, with registered and unregistered provider requirements and working with children schemes by jurisdiction
• Work health and safety duties, with the statute for each state and territory
• Insurance details and a warning that volunteers are generally outside workers compensation
• Binding confidentiality and privacy, incidents and complaints, ending the arrangement and signatures

Good to know: never pay volunteers for their time. Wage-like payments can change the legal character of the arrangement.

• Reviewed against the current NDIS Rules, Practice Standards and Commission guidance
• Editable DOCX with a placeholder legend, so you enter your details once
• Instant download

These templates are general information, not legal advice. No template can guarantee registration or audit outcomes.
