EV CREW focuses on supporting disaster related volunteering activities undertaken by response agencies or community organisations.
Coming Soon
Care Army is focused on social connection and essential services such as the delivery of groceries and medicines for Queensland’s seniors and most vulnerable.
Our History
EV CREW was created in response to the unprecedented outpouring of volunteer support in the wake of the extreme weather in 2008 and was put to the ultimate test during the 2010-11 Queensland floods and Cyclone Yasi disasters. Volunteering Queensland saw the need for a coordinated registration and referral service to best manage the wide variety of volunteer skills, availabilities and locations.
Care Army was born during the COVID-19 pandemic but continues supporting vulnerable people suffering from isolation and experiencing difficulties in accessing essential services.
What we've achieved so far
EV CREW is managed by a dedicated team of volunteers, staff and over 500 fully trained emergency phase volunteers. Their hard work has resulted in some amazing achievements thus far.
Since 2011, we've activated 163 times including activating over 11,000 emergency volunteers.
