Volunteers are vital to the successful running of the Cricket club. Ours is a 'not for profit’ community club, there are no paid positions. We would not be able to function as a club without the valuable contributions of our volunteers.

Insurance

Cricket Australia provides a national insurance program through which all registered clubs have access to personal accident insurance and public liability coverage in respect of all volunteers. This insurance is in force while you are actively volunteering for KPCC.

Expenses and training costs

The club can offer to reimburse volunteers any reasonable expenses they have incurred in the course of their work with the club. Where training is essential for volunteers to carry out an agreed role, the club will identify the associated costs and reach a shared understanding with the volunteer as to how these costs will be met.

Roles where training can be offered:

  • Coaching for junior team coaches.
  • Umpiring for the ‘Level One’ course aimed at junior coaches, managers, etc (equivalent of seniors “captains ticket”).
  • RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol). As a registered club with a liquor license, we require volunteers with an RSA to serve alcohol. (Reimbursement available after agreed amount of voluntary service).
