PBS Volunteer News 6, 2018


Almost there!
Whilst the on-air campaign finished up, the administrative part of radio festival was relentless. Fortunately, a brilliant group of volunteers helped out every Wednesday in June packing kits, answering phones, folding T-shirts and more. Thank you Alan, Amy, Ana, Jerome, Andrew, Ashley,  Bill, Brit, Bronte, Catherine, Con, Denise, Ellie, Isabella, Jake, Jill, Joel, Jonathan, Kate, Katherine, Katrina, Leigh, Meg, Miss Goldie, Norm, Paul, Pete, Quinn, Rafal, Rasha, Rica, Rod, Rosa and Savannah and thanks to all volunteers who help PBS week in and week out.

PBS Policies and Procedures
It is important for all volunteers and staff to be familiar with this. See the P&P here and http://pbs.org.au/policy. The Policies and Procedures Handbook ensures that PBS remains in safe compliance with the Codes of Practice and other relevant legislation. It also positions PBS volunteers, announcers and staff to operate with a shared, clear understanding of how things work at PBS. Please read it carefully. And if you’re inspired, why not consider becoming a PBS shareholder? The AGM is held in November.


PBS acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we are located 
and we pay our respects to them, their culture, and their Elders past and present
