This policy does not apply to:

  • Digital volunteers who assist the State Library and Archives of Tasmania to transcribe historical records online.
  • Individuals undertaking short-term work experience.
  • Students undertaking research projects.
  • Members of the public involved in community programs operating in Libraries Tasmania spaces.
  • Members of advisory boards and committees.
  • Libraries Tasmania staff volunteering in other organisations.
