How we helped Australian Volunteers International manage their Volunteers
For almost 70 years, AVI has brought the right people together to share skills and knowledge, building locally-driven capacity where it’s needed most – in people, organisations and systems. AVI supports the development process, not drive it, and knows the change is truly fit for purpose and sustainable. Interpersonal relationships are central to AVI's approach.

Project Overview
Australian Volunteers International is one of the largest volunteer management organisations in Australia, managing thousands of skilled volunteers across a large number of assignments internationally. This represents a significant technological challenge, including the following functional needs:
- Centralised Volunteer Profile, including previous Assignments, Inductions, Safety Compliance, Work Permits, etc
- Connected online experience to self-manage, arrange travel, and communicate with Volunteers when overseas
- Reimbursement of Volunteer Expenses as quickly and efficiently as possible
Execution
Vertic has a long-standing and close partnership with Australian Volunteers International having been engaged for over 4 years now to initially implement the Salesforce digital platform to manage the volunteer pool. We have since introduced a number of evolutions and enhancements to this powerful platform, including:
- Online Onboarding and Applications Management
- International Volunteer Portal to manage Assignments and Deployments
- Online complex Registration Processes with associated automation to increase organisational efficiencies
- Marketing Campaign Management platform (using Salesforce Pardot)
Results
The results of this implementation are a complete and connected digital platform across the entire organisation, built on the Salesforce ecosystem. The local, national, and international teams are now connected at all times, the application, onboarding, safety, and in-country management processes are centralised within a single solution. This offers a completely new way of operationally going about managing both volunteers and partner countries, including:
- Local, National, and International Volunteer Management
- Financial System Integration for realtime Reimbursements to Volunteers
- Integration with a number of Government Safety Systems, such as 'Police Checks` and 'Working with Children Checks`
- Comprehensive Online Presence, including Assignment Search, Application, Induction, and Data Insights
Don't take our word for it, take theirs!
"Vertic have been professional and transparent throughout our implementation. The team connected very well with the Vertic guys and communication was open and always to the benefit of Greenpeace. I would happily recommend Vertic to any social organisation."
