About FNQ Volunteers Inc.
FNQ Volunteers Inc. is a Cairns based not for profit community organisation that recruits and refers volunteers into positions within other not for profit community organisations throughout Far North Queensland.
| "To develop and strengthen volunteering in Far North Queensland for the mutual benefit of the individual and the community." |
Established in 1999 in response to community needs, FNQ Volunteers Inc. is the lead agency for volunteering in the Far North Region. Our organisation contributes to community development and social inclusion of the Far North Queensland region through the development and delivery of community participation and volunteer involvement services. Our services include volunteer training and education, advocacy, community development and volunteer referrals for a wide range of community, not-for-profit member organisations throughout the region.
Additionally, FNQ Volunteers leads the not-for-profit sector in the region in raising the profile of volunteering to encourage an inclusive and healthy community and is now a well-respected, efficient and effective regional body for volunteering in Far North Queensland.
Our core funding is through the Volunteer Management Programme (VMP). Along with other National, State Peak bodies and Volunteer Resources Centres (VRC's) throughout Australia, VMP funding supports a comprehensive and consistent approach to volunteer management and training throughout Australia.
Previously administrated through the Australian Government Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA), from November 2010 the Volunteer Management Programme will be administrated through the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) through the Office for the Non-Profit Sector. Responsiblity for social inclusion and third sector reform issues will fall under the portfolio responsibility of the Minister for Social Inclusion, the Hon Tanya Plibersek MP.
