Safety
Access a vital library of safety alerts, manuals, links and resources from our Safety Management System.
As a valued Disaster Relief Australia (DRA) team member, you will help communities in need whilst receiving advanced training, career opportunities and a range of other benefits. Through our Volunteer Portal you can access a variety of links and resources to support you in your volunteering journey.
Muster
The DRA volunteer portal is called Muster. You can only access Muster once you have completed your volunteer application form and have been invited to complete your Muster profile by our Memberships Team.
DRA volunteers use Muster to submit an EOI form for deployment, access the DRA learning portal and view a range of important resources and documents.
