As a volunteer, you have rights and responsibilities.
Each organisation should have it's own volunteer policies on areas such as safety and security screening, reimbursement of expenses, role responsibilities etc.
As a guide, Volunteering Tasmania have produced an excellent fact sheet for volunteers with general guidelines on what you should expect from your volunteer employer and also what they should be able to expect from you in return.
I've included the fact sheet here, but for more details, visit VT at http://www.volunteeringtas.org.au/for-volunteers/, where you'll also find a number of other fact sheets on issues such as police checks for volunteers and other resources.
