Volunteers
Volunteers are a vital to the continued successful operation of Aroundagain. They are rostered to work 7 days per week and have only public holidays off when the land fill is closed to the public.
We value the contributions of our volunteers and support them through induction on their role and information about the broader Christie Centre organisation. We keep a tally of hours worked which when converted to a $ value is astounding. In 2009/10 an average of 167 hours per month and 2007 for the year were recorded.
