Red Cross and Voluntary Service
|
|
|
|
|
| The Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is the world's largest voluntary organisation. Much of our work both in Australia and overseas is carried out by volunteers, whose contribution to our multitude of services is invaluable.
Each year our volunteers serve more than 200 million vulnerable people worldwide, symbolising The Power of Humanity. The first recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, Henry Dunant, founded the International Committee of the Red Cross as a voluntary relief movement. Voluntary Service is one of the seven Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

Volunteering is an integral part of Australian society, with one in five Australians over the age of 15 making a meaningful and worthwhile contribution to the community.

Policies for people
|
As part of the world's largest humanitarian organisation, Australian Red Cross is committed to people: the people we help, the people we employ and the people who help others by giving their valuable time to volunteer.
We also support transparency and invite you to view the Volunteer Involvement Policy we have put in place as part of our commitment to people. |
