Fine Print Policies and
Procedures
It is important for all volunteers and staff
to be familiar with this. See the policies and procedures 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?
