Volunteering Australia and Volunteering WA regret to announce that the National Volunteering Conference 2020, due to take place from 18-20 March 2020 in Perth, Western Australia, has been cancelled. Plans had been made to postpone the conference, however it is now clear that the ramifications of COVID-19 are likely to last far longer than originally thought, with the recovery period uncertain.
