What does this mean for the volunteer?

Through the Volunteers (Protection from Liability) Act 2002:

Someone who is volunteering for an organisation and operates in good faith when doing community work and within the organisation’s guidelines has protection from liability. The intent is that the liability will transfer to the community organisation with which they are involved.
