The Student Leadership, Career Development and Employment team are investigating the implementation of a platform which can be utilised University wide, to track hours, organisations and the sustainability goals that staff members and students contribute to the community. This can also then be used to recognise the contribution that people make in a formal manner, while providing information and support about volunteering opportunities available.
Staff volunteering support is stated in the University of Tasmania Staff Agreement 2017-2021.
