We develop evidence-based policy positions on wide-ranging public policy issues for the volunteering ecosystem, including key sectors that rely on the volunteer workforce, Volunteer Involving Organisations and volunteers.
We advocate for consultation, consideration and change in areas of government policy, law, regulation and reform at the highest levels bringing the volunteer voice to the national table.
