Volunteer FAQ’s
Do I have to have a Working With Children Check (or Blue Card)?
In all states right across Australia you must have a Working With Children Card for the state you wish to be a volunteer in:
QLD: Blue Card
NSW: Working With Children Check
VIC: Working With Children Check
NT: Working With Children Check
WA: Working With Children Check
TAS: Working With Children CheckYou should click on the relevant state links and research what is involved for the state you wish to volunteer in. Make sure you meet their criteria, and if they have forms to complete, we encourage you to do so asap.
Do I need a Working With Children for the whole of Australia?
No. Volunteers only need child-work clearance for the States they intend to take placements.
What if the Blue Card (or Working With Child forms) need an AHVISE signature?
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 4470Because we are a registered charity, there is no cost to you for the application.
How do I enter my Blue Card into the system?
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.
Does my partner need a Working With Children check?
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.
Do I have to write the curriculum for my student while I am on the placement?
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.
What about travel costs & reimbursements?
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 are many ways to helps us to help Aussie farming families in need this Christmas, including donating funds, donating goods, volunteering, fundraising and partnering.
