As a volunteer for Challenge Australia 2011 (CA11) I agree that, at all times, I shall observe the Code of Conduct and that I will:

  • Work for CA11 in a volunteer capacity without financial payment or incentive;
  • Abide by the Australian Fencing Federation and New South Wales Fencing Association General Code(s) of Behaviour;
  • Abide by the policies and procedures of CA11;
  • Attend volunteer training sessions as required by CA11;
  • Attend all volunteer shifts as allocated by CA11, and inform the CA11 Administration Director as soon as possible if I am unavailable due to illness or extreme circumstances;
  • Represent CA11 in a professional and courteous manner at all times;
  • Undertake my tasks and duties as outlined to me, and follow the directions of the CA11 Organising Committee;
  • Wear the CA11 uniform (including accreditation pass and lanyard) provided to me at all times while on duty in a neat and presentable manner;
  • Advise CA11 of any situation that is unsafe or not satisfactory, or any tasks that I feel I am unable or uncomfortable undertaking as part of my duties.

In return, I understand that CA11 shall use all reasonable endeavours to provide:

  • A safe and enjoyable environment in which to perform my tasks and duties;
  • Training and supervision to enable me to carry out my duties as a CA11 Volunteer; and
  • Recognition of my status as a volunteer, including benefits such as meals and uniforms and rest periods depending on the nature of my volunteer role.

I understand that I must check the box on the Volunteer Registration form to confirm my acceptance of these conditions.
