Volunteering is a great way to contribute to your community. It provides a variety of benefits, including making new friends, sharing skills, getting job-ready and becoming a part of the local community.

Volunteering opportunities

Volunteering Queensland provides information for many volunteering opportunities in Queensland. Visit their website to find volunteering opportunities, or search their database by location or work/skill type.

You can also contact your nearest volunteer resource centre to find out about volunteering opportunities in your region:

Volunteers do great things across a wide range of sectors. To get an idea of the broad range of programs in Queensland, check out the options below.

Arts and culture

Community services

Conservation

Corporate volunteering

Companies that engage in employee volunteering actively support and encourage their employees to volunteer their services to a local community organisation. It is one way in which businesses can fulfil their social responsibility.

Emergency volunteering

Health

Keeping the community safe

Driver Reviver assists travellers to have a safe journey by providing them with refreshments at rest break sites.

Volunteer with Neighbourhood Watch Queensland, an informal group that meets to identify and address local issues.

Work with police through Volunteers in Policing to address customer service, community safety and crime prevention needs in the community.

Online volunteering

Online volunteering allows you to make a difference from the comfort of your own home at a time that suits you. Some interesting opportunities include:

Sport

Legal information for volunteers in Queensland

Workplace Health and Safety

Civil Liability

The Queensland Civil Liability Act 2003 protects certain volunteers from incurring personal civil liability while undertaking voluntary community work for a state government agency, local government authority or an incorporated organisation. In order to be protected under this Act, volunteers must act in good faith and their work must be 'organised' which suggests formal control, supervision and a registration process. If a volunteer fulfils the conditions set by the Act, they are exempted from all civil liability for their actions.

The Commonwealth Volunteers Protection Act 2003 removes the civil liability of volunteers performing work in good faith for the Commonwealth, or a Commonwealth authority, to pay compensation to third parties where they may have caused personal injury, property damage or financial loss.

Checks and screening

Volunteers may be required to undergo checks and screening to do particular activities, dependent on organisational and legislative requirements. This includes volunteers who work with children and young people and volunteers who work with people with a disability.

Resources

On the Volunteering Queensland website, you can find the following resources for volunteer managers:

volunteering in context

prepare for volunteer involvement

recruit and select volunteers

orientate and train volunteers

supervise and support volunteers

ongoing development of your volunteer program

for community arts organisations.

You can also find general resources on a variety of topics.

Each year, events are held to celebrate the spirit of volunteering.

'Small Wins' Webinar Series

WHY WE NEED CHANGE

Women are under-represented at senior levels in universities and in various key disciplines. This is despite the fact that women are as well represented in terms of high school success and at junior levels.

WE AIM TO SUPPORT WOMEN IN RESEARCH AND

TO ENHANCE GENDER DIVERSITY IN OUR INSTITUTIONS

To inspire and support female researchers by:

To enhance the effective mentoring of women by:

To promote gender diversity in educational and research institutions by:

EVIDENCE BASED-RESOURCES AND PRACTICAL TIPS

These resources provide evidence-based summaries of (and links to) reports and research studies.

These resources provide a rigorous underpinning to the topic and allows informed decision-making.

​

We also share informal ideas and suggestions that come from our own experiences, as well as from the many men and women we have interviewed.

We hope that by sharing a diverse array of anecdotes and practical tips,

some will resonate and help achieve success.

Dovetail provides clinical advice and professional support to workers, services and communities across Queensland who engage with young people affected by alcohol and other drug use. We are the youth focussed service within Insight, the centre for alcohol and other drug training and workforce development in Queensland.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Dovetail provides clinical advice and professional support to workers, services and communities across Queensland who engage with young people affected by alcohol and other drug use.

Our aim is to build sector capacity by:

Identifying workers who engage with young people who are using alcohol and drugs in Queensland

Connecting services and workers together, and

Equipping them with knowledge, skills, tools and resources to enhance their practice

These strategies seek to prevent the harms experienced by, and improve treatment outcomes for, young people affected by alcohol and drug use across the State.

Our Objectives

To provide an information clearinghouse function for the youth alcohol and drug sector in Queensland.

To develop a range of evidence-informed youth alcohol and drug practice guidelines, tools and resources.

To provide access to and deliver high quality professional development training, education and facilitation services to workers, organisations and communities across Queensland.

To provide professional advice, support and consultation services to any Queensland-based worker or service engaged with youth alcohol and drug issues.

To build and/or facilitate strong, effective and sustainable partnerships with a range of institutions, departments, services and programs that result in increased support and service provision for young people.

Our Values

Value of Relationships - We value positive and collaborative relationships above everything else.

Shared Unity - We value and facilitate shared unity in service provision to young people across government, non-government and private service providers.

Social Justice - We prioritise those activities that deliver positive outcomes for the most high-risk and disadvantaged young people in Queensland.

Harm Minimisation - The entire Dovetail philosophy is underpinned by the principles of harm minimisation.

Good Practice - We value and promote practice that recognises the existing skill and expertise of the sector, celebrates diversity, drives creativity and innovation and demonstrates leadership and excellence.

Youth Participation - We are committed to maximising young people's participation in the systems, services and communities that affect their lives.

Continuous Improvement and Learning - We are committed to learning and continuously improving through action, reflective practice and systematic enquiry

History

Dovetail was funded by Queensland Health in 2010 as a response to increased methamphetamine use across the state. Initially Dovetail was governed by a Consortium of 14 government and non-government agencies (13 based in Queensland alongside YSAS from Victoria) as a training, practice and workforce development unit to specifically support 10 services across Queensland who had simultaneously received funding to employ dedicated youth alcohol and drug workers. However due to the relatively small size of the youth AOD workforce in Queensland this focus was soon expanded to include any service that provided support to young people affected by substance use.

Within the Consortium, Metro North Mental Health - Alcohol and Drug Service was identified as the lead agent and auspice body for the project funding and continues to manage the project to today. Initially established as a 3 year trial and officially launched in May 2010, Dovetail's funding was made recurrent in 2012 following an external review conducted by Fieldworx.
