Volunteering Tasmania is happy to still see funding included in the interim Budget to support the implementation of the Volunteering Strategy, and to commence subsidisation of Working with Vulnerable People Checks for volunteers as part of a two year pilot.
We note the funding allocated in the 2025/26 year for the subsidisation of the RWVP Checks has reduced. We will be seeking some clarity on the funding of the RWVP pilot given the delayed commencement, and will be advocating for this to continue post 30 June 2027.
