| TURN YOUR ORGANISATION INTO A VOLUNTEER MAGNET | The second edition of the highly successful volunteer
management guide was launched in December 2007.
The magnet project is unique in that it harnesses the experience of everyday volunteer managers from around the world and asks them to describe, in just 500 words, those things which make their volunteer projects ‘magnetic’. Editors Fraser Dyer, Andy Fryar and Rob Jackson explain “the philosophy behind the project is that managers at a grass roots level have lots of experience to share, but seldom an outlet to distribute that knowledge. The magnet project allows an avenue through which they can contribute their ideas, and these are then shared freely, via the internet with their peers around the world. It is a great model of both networking and information exchange”. The new and updated edition contains 50 chapters from 40 authors
across North America, the United Kingdom, Europe and the Australasian
region. |
The free electronic version can be downloaded from

A print version can also be purchased through www.lulu.com

This publication is intended to be one such tool. Volunteering

| CHANGING ROLES OF COMMUNITY SECTOR PEAK BODIES IN A NEO-LIBERAL POLICY ENVIRONMENT IN AUSTRALIA AN ARC FUNDED STUDY (2000-2002) FINAL REPORT |
This three-year study was funded by an Australian Research Council Discovery Grant (2000-2003). The current project (2002-2002) is the culmination of a six-year study of community sector peak bodies in Australia. The study has produced valuable baseline data on unique set of
community-sector organisations. The study adds to a growing body
of research on third sector organisations in Australia, which contribute
an estimated 9 billion dollars to the Australian economy, as well
as providing a multitude of social and political benefits. The funding
of the study has signaled that these kinds of organisations are
worthy of on-going academic research and industry collaboration. |

| VOLUNTEER IMMUNITY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT By Professor Myles McGregor-Lowndes and Scott Edwards Local Government Law Journal Volume 10 November 2004 Part
2 |
Every jurisdiction in Australia has now enacted legislation to protect volunteers of local government from incurring personal civil liability. Local government will be affected by these laws, most jurisdictions transferring liabilities incurred by a volunteer to it. This article examines the background to these reforms before undertaking a detailed examination of how the legislation in each jurisdiction addresses the issue of volunteer protection as it applies to local governments and their volunteers. The article concludes by proposing some areas in which reform would benefit local government’s ability to deal with the liabilities imposed by the legislation. |
