  • Hi,

    Thank you for showing interest in becoming a One Meal Volunteer.  We’d love to welcome you to the One Meal Team!  We try to make volunteering easy, there are just a few things we need from you to get you started!

    Firstly, all One Meal volunteers, 18 years and over require a Working with Children’s Check (WWCC). A WWCC can be obtained free of cost (for volunteers) online (via link below) or from a Service NSW office.

    Your WWCC may take a week or two to process.

     

    Note: Your WWCC number is required for form submission. Please don't proceed with application until you have your WWCC number.

  • Thanks ! That's the hard bit out of the way.

  • A few things that you'll need to know

    Food Safety

    The safety of our patrons is of the upmost importance. We must therefore ensure we follow food safety standards at home, while preparing food for our patrons, and also whilst handling food at our services. Please ensure you understand and comply with the following guidelines.

    Discuss any queries you may have with your Area Coordinator.

    General

    • Ensure food is thoroughly cooked
    • Defrosting – Always defrost meats in the fridge
    • Consider your travel time when making menu choices, and how well you’ll be able to keep food hot/cold
    • Ensure food preparation surfaces and utensils are clean and dry prior to contact with food.
    • Prevent cross-contamination between cooked and raw food (ie: separate utensils) - in the fridge store cooked foods above raw foods.     

    Hygiene

    Hand washing is one of the most important actions you can take to prevent foodborne illness. Hands should be washed (with hot soapy water) and thoroughly dried prior to food handling and whenever they are likely to be a source of contamination (ie: after using the toilet, smoking, coughing, sneezing, eating, touching hair, scalp etc).

    Gloves

    Whilst not mandated by The Food Standards Code, One Meal requires all volunteers involved with the serving of food at our services to wear gloves. Gloves should be replaced whenever they are likely to be a source of contamination (refer hand washing for sources of contamination).

    4-hour/2-hour rule

    Studies have been done that show food can be safely held out of temperature control for short periods of time without significantly increasing the risk of food poisoning. The time for which food can be safely held between 5°C and 60°C is commonly referred to as the ‘4-hour/2-hour rule’ and is applied as follows:

     

    ‘Use immediately’ means that the food must be provided to patrons within that 2-hour period, or else cooked or processed to reduce or eliminate any pathogenic bacteria present in the food.

    Take Away Food

    Consideration should be given to the safety of any food provided to patrons to take away. The food must comply with the 4Hr / 2Hr rule when served.

    Food Safety - It's in Your Hands

     

     

  • Some other stuff

    Confidentiality 

    Volunteers are expected to respect the privacy of our patrons. If any information of concern is provided to you by a patron, this should be escalated in confidence via the service team leader / area coordinator.

    Photos / Social Media

    One Meal is very active on social media and photos of volunteers often appear on various social media platforms and the One Meal website. One Meal reserves the right to use images and cannot provide assurances with regard to the use of digital images.

    Safety and Risk

    Volunteering with One Meal involves interacting with patrons and volunteers as well as handling service equipment. As such, volunteering with One Meal is not without risk. Volunteers must conduct themselves in a manner that does not compromise their safety, or that of others.

    Incident / Accident 

    All incidents, accidents or events involving unwelcome behaviour must be reported to the Team Leader or Area Coordinator (or if preferred, to One Meal Head Office).

    One Meal reserves the right to terminate the services of any volunteer. Termination decisions will be at the discretion of the Area Coordinator or the Board.
