Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This regulation amends how the Volunteers and Food and Other Donors (Protection from Liability) Act 2002 defines “community work” by prescribing that, for paragraph (k) of s 3(1), activities that promote the interests of an ethnic community or a religious community are included. Mechanically, it expands who qualifies as doing "community work", so volunteers and organisations running those activities in Western Australia can fall within the Act’s liability protections and related legal coverage.
