Volunteering Australia Enquiries

Volunteering Australia is not a statutory authority, meaning that if you or someone you know have experienced injustice, faced discrimination or unfair treatment, unfortunately Volunteering Australia is not able to enforce any repercussions. We will always endeavor to assist you as best we can, but often in situations like the abovementioned, we are more than likely only able to provide contact information of statutory authority organisations to assist you.

We are not able to provide direct assistance or make referrals.

Volunteering Australia is proud to work collaboratively with the State and Territory peaks to lead, strengthen, promote and celebrate volunteering and civic participation in Australia.

For all national, government policy and volunteering advocacy enquiries please contact Volunteering Australia.

For all other queries, including volunteer opportunities and training enquiries, please contact your relevant state or territory Volunteering Peak Body.

For more information, please visit our Terms of Use webpage.
