OH&S is a National Issue - because it is a legislative requirement. That is 
in the volunteer guide - yes.

Speaking of which - this has gone up considerably - it is now $1237.50 for 
public liability and $88 for personal accident and insurance (inc GST). This 
cost is a National Cost because it covers all branches. It is a National 
responsibility.

They were there once before, and were taken down. I will aim to put it all up
