How you can help

Some of the Working With Children Checks and Blue Cards require the charity/organisation you intend to volunteer with, to sign it.

What we need you to do is to download the forms from the official websites (or the Blue Card forms are downloadable below).

If you have a form, and you need a signature from one of our admin staff, please fill out as much of the forms as you can, get your ID documents verified, and send the original documents PLUS one copy (of all of the documents) to:

PO Box 405
Charleville, QLD 4470

Because we are a registered charity, there is no cost to you for the application.

When you register with the AHVISE Registration Form on this website there will be instructions for you to upload a copy of your Blue Card (or relevant Working with Children check) and Drivers Licence.

Yes. If your partner is helping you in the school room or maybe sports and anything involved with the children they must have a Blue Card too.

No. Please do not change the child’s curriculum because when you leave, families have to go back to what they know. Distance Education schools or home schooling (or whatever program the family are enrolled in) send out assignments and your job is to supervise these and help child/children catch up and do extra if needed. Always discuss progress in the schoolroom with parents. Farming parents are very busy. They appreciate honest feedback and open and honest communication about how their child/children are progressing in their schoolwork.

Normally all Volunteers are responsible for their own accommodation to and from Placements.

However, Volunteers can claim up to $1,500 per Placement (in total for both Volunteer and their partner/spouse) and all and any reimbursement claims MUST come with copies of the receipts the Volunteer is seeking to have reimbursed. This is to keep the system fair.

When Volunteers join, they will have access to our Volunteers Financial Hub which has a simple form to complete and upload your receipts (in JPEG, PNG or PDF format) and request the travel refund. Refunds can take up to 3wks, but we do aim for 2wks or less.

There is no time limit. Should a family require help to have someone for one full school term, this is okay and worked out with the Coordinator and the family. it is advised that no placement will be under 6 weeks, the reason being one unit/assignment of school work is 2 weeks, that means you are helping that student do 3 units.

Volunteers are generally responsible for their own accommodation to and from placements, however, they can claim up to $1,500 per placement (in total for both volunteer and their partner/spouse) and all and any reimbursement claims MUST come with copies of the receipts the Volunteer is seeking to have reimbursed.
