Our role
As the national peak body for volunteering, we develop evidence-based positions on public policy issues that impact the volunteering ecosystem and advocate for the interests of volunteers and volunteer involving organisations at the national level.
Through our policy and advocacy work, we promote the benefits of volunteering and seek to ensure volunteering is properly considered in policy settings, service design and strategic investment.
We work closely with the state and territory Volunteering Peak Bodies and the volunteering ecosystem more broadly to inform our work.
