Funded Activity Summary
Volunteers in Crisis: Analysing Responses to HIV/AIDS in Australia. This project aims to investigate the contribution that volunteers made to Australia's response to HIV/AIDS. The Australian public policy response to HIV/AIDS is widely considered one of the world’s best. This response drew heavily on the efforts of volunteers, who assisted in managing this public health crisis. This project aims to use empirical research and oral histories to investigate the motivations of these volunteers, the nature and significance of their contributions and the impact of volunteerism on these individuals and on non-profit community-based organisations. The intended outcome will generate original insight into the role volunteers play during public health crises and may provide strategies to inform the management of future epidemics.Funded Activity Details
