Reply To: SC member offering to do work for OC

Hey Boronia, looking at my notes I see how the insurer explained the concept of “volunteer”. If Mr X is an owner, regardless of whether he is an owner occupier or absentee landlord, he is not considered a “volunteer” in the event that he performs odd jobs at the strata scheme. The matter turns not on his relevant experience but on his address.

But say his grandson, who does not live at the scheme, visits him at the strata scheme and performs work (again regardless of work experience which may be relevant to the work performed) then the grandson is a “volunteer”.
