We are celebrating National Volunteer Week 2026 with the theme Your Year to Volunteer.
This theme honours the contributions of volunteers and encourages people across Australia to make 2026 the year they get involved and make a difference.
2026 is the United Nations International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development (IVY 2026), highlighting the vital role of volunteers in advancing sustainability. National Volunteer Week 2026 will support IVY 2026 by amplifying the voices of volunteers and taking action to help volunteering thrive.
National Volunteer Week 2026 celebrates the commitment of current volunteers and invites everyone to discover how giving their time and talents can spark joy, and a deep sense of purpose.
Make this Your Year to Volunteer and help create lasting, positive change.
Join us from 18-24 May 2026 to celebrate volunteers across the country.
