In honour of National Volunteer Week 2024, Volunteering Australia has released a report providing evidence that tells the story of how volunteering is changing in the face of challenges and opportunities. It is a story of resilience, innovation, and adaptation.
Drawing on the most recent national data, the report sets out new analysis revealing the diversity of who volunteers and how, and how this has changed in recent times. It highlights the enduring contribution that volunteering makes to the nation’s wellbeing.
Looking ahead, volunteering is charting a new course. Through the implementation of the National Strategy for Volunteering and other key strategic initiatives, the volunteering ecosystem is working towards a shared vision. With a supporting and thriving ecosystem, we can create a better future by empowering everyone to contribute to the common good.
