Institute of Community Directors Australia Policy Bank
Summary
The Institute of Community Directors (ICDA) offers a Policy Bank with over 70 free policy templates specifically designed for Australian non-profit organisations.
Benefits of Using the Policy Bank
Avoid creating policies from scratch by using the free templates as a starting point.
Templates are designed to align with relevant Australian laws and regulations.
Clear policies promote good practice and reduce confusion within your organisation.
Application
Non-profit organisations and volunteer management practitioners can use the Policy Bank to develop and maintain a comprehensive suite of policies. The ICDA Policy Bank provides a valuable starting point, but all policies should be customised to fit the specific needs of your organisation.
