Recognition for Volunteers

Volunteering is the lifeblood of community services in Australia. One in five seniors is a volunteer. Such selfless actions range across the board from meals on wheels, community clean ups, CFA, friends of parks groups, school committees, carers, and much more. I recently proposed to the Federal Goverment that, in principle, volunteers with ten years service should be recognised with the award of a medal. I was advised that the Australian Honours and Awards system, (so very restricted), local MP's certificates, and local council initiatives, well covered the matter. I do not believe that this is so, and that, as with many other subsets of our society such as the CFA and SES workers, general volunteers warrant a more serious national approach in recognising their valued services. |
