National Volunteer Week is Australia’s largest annual celebration of volunteering.

It recognises the contribution of millions of volunteers across the country and invites everyone to discover how giving their time and talents can create connection, purpose, and stronger communities.

THEME – YOUR YEAR TO VOLUNTEER

This year is a moment to thank those who already give their time and to invite others to discover how volunteering can create connection, purpose, and lasting positive change.
