Saturday 21 June 2008
Do you volunteer with us or another outfit or thinking about it? Here’s a Federal program which will pay for a training credit for you and perhaps put something more in your pocket.

Important volunteer information for people receiving Centrelink benefits:
Volunteers can now benefit from helping local communities and not-for-profit organisations throughAustralian Governmentcommunity initiatives. If you are registered withCentrelinkand would like to participate in this flexible arrangement, you may be eligible to receive up to $800 worth of approved training via a ‘Training Credit’. You may also be eligible for an additional $20.80 fortnightly allowance supplement.
What’s in it for me?
• Volunteers have the potential to earn up to $800.00 of Training Credits. Training Credits can be used for any approved training course and are valid for one year.
• For eligible volunteers a supplement of $20.80 per fortnight is issued, this can be used to cover transport costs.
• Protective Equipment and uniforms. Jobs Statewide will provide these if they are required at no cost to you.
Who is eligible?
• Volunteers must be in receipt of aCentrelinkbenefit e.g. Mature Age Allowance, Carer Allowance, Disability Support Pension, Parenting Payment, Widow Allowance and Wife Pension.
What do I have to do?
If you are interested, you will need to call one of our CWC offices to arrange an initial interview with a consultant. Our Community Work Coordinator will work with you to assess your eligibility and your options.
Contact Jobs Statewide’s CWC Consultants at:
