This page provides resources for approved Bushwalking Program volunteer leaders
This page provides resources for approved VNPA volunteer bushwalking and activity leaders to submit activities.
To submit an activity for the program, fill out the ‘Activity Submission Form’. Activities will need to be approved by the Activities Program Coordinator.
Please note, it is now a VNPA requirement for anyone leading an activity, including Bushwalking Program leaders, to have a Working with Children Check. The process to get a Working with Children Check is easy to follow, takes about 15 minutes and is free for volunteers. You may need to visit the post office. You can apply here.
Please list VNPA as an organisation you volunteer for on your check. You can find out more about the Working with Children Check here. If you need help applying or have any questions, please let us know.
This guide is your ‘go to’ as a bushwalking and activities leader. It takes you through the steps involved in preparing, submitting, hosting, staying safe and following up on your activity. As a bushwalking and activities program leader you must familiarise yourself with this guide.
Below are the additional resources for bushwalking and activity leaders. These documents are all referred to in the Activities Program Interim Leader’s Guide. They are also provided here as separate and more user friendly versions for when you need to use them.
