May, 2020. Volunteering Australia commissioned the Australian National University (ANU) Centre for Social Research and Methods to undertake analysis of the experience of volunteers during the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Their analysis draws on the ANUpoll which involves a regular survey of around 3000 Australians that produces nationally representative results. The decline in paid work because of COVID-19 has been the focus of much analysis, however this research is the first analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on volunteers and volunteering across Australia.
