Comments attributed to Volunteering Minister Mick Murray: "The Volunteering Community Reference Group is set to make a great contribution to WA's volunteering sector. "The McGowan Government made this election commitment in response to our volunteering stakeholders calling for it. This is such an important step to move the sector in the right direction. "Nobody knows volunteering better than the people on the ground and those who have been involved closely in the industry over the years. "Members bring together a diverse range of skills and experience, from people working directly as volunteers to organisational leaders and university researchers in the field. "I'm very much looking forward to learning what the group see as the issues and how they believe the State Government can support the volunteering sector to thrive in Western Australia."
