FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW LONG WILL THE SHIFTS BE?
Shifts are dependent on roles, but as a general guide we will typically require volunteers to be at the venue 75 minutes before the first match commences and they can leave approximately 15 minutes after the second match concludes. So, based off the first match being at 6.30pm we would like need volunteers at the venue by 5/5.15pm and they could leave at 9.30/9.45pm.

WILL MY EXPENSES BE REIMBURSED?
Volunteers will be required to give their time voluntarily and without recompense.

WILL I GET A UNIFORM?
Volunteers will receive a HCM volunteer shirt.

WILL MEALS BE PROVIDED?
HV will provide a small meal pack and water during your shifts.

WHEN WILL I FIND OUT IF I AM REQUIRED TO BE A VOLUNTEER?
Following the deadline closing for expressions of interest, Hockey Victoria will review all applications and be in contact with you.

WHAT IF I AM NOT AVAILABLE FOR ALL THREE HOME MATCHES?
While would prefer to have volunteers that are available for all 3 home matches, we will certainly still consider applications from those that are only available for 1 or 2 of the home rounds.
