HelpOut - Volunteeringin an Emergency
HelpOUT is a volunteer matching service, managed by Volunteering Victoria, dedicated to assisting communities
impacted by a disaster with relief and recovery activities. We take offers of volunteer assistance, registering and
linking them to community organsiations when help is needed.
Because HelpOUT is a new service, Volunteering
Victoria is conducting a pilot in the Geelong area to test the concept and make sure it is as good as it
can be, before taking it state-wide.
