Why has the Muster system been upgraded?

As DRA grows, we need systems as simple and easy to navigate as possible. Muster 2.0 will streamline everything for volunteers, from the initial volunteer application to submission of EOIs for deployments and training.

Do I have to re-enter all my details again?

No. The details recorded in the existing system will transfer to Muster 2.0. You just need to check they’re correct. Please ensure you use the same email address that you used in the original Muster so your details are transferred.

What’s changed?

The system is easier to navigate, it looks less cluttered, and it will be simpler to use. Applying to volunteer with DRA is also easier and quicker in Muster 2.0. You will be able to track your deployments and training in one location. Upon launch of the stage 3 upgrade you will no longer need to fill in your details every time you want to attend a training session or go on deployment.

Why aren't my deployment showing in Muster 2.0?
You’ll note your deployment history is not yet showing in Muster 2.0.  Don’t panic! It’s all there. There is a lot going on behind the scenes and all the data is migrating across…it just takes time. We expect the deployment information to transfer by mid-July 2023.
Will my qualifications automatically transfer from Muster to Muster 2.0?
While exploring, you will see one small task for you to complete.

You will notice that your qualifications have not come across to the new system and we’ve asked you to re-enter these details.

One of the challenges of the older system was that it did not capture this information as well as it should. We decided to fix this with Muster 2.0. We have changed how we record and structure these details. This will help us better gather volunteer information when we deploy volunteers.

We really appreciate your support with this and with the launch of the new system. It is a learning curve for us all but we will soon enjoy the benefits of the upgrade.
