Have Your Say: Shape the Future of Volunteering

Volunteers are the backbone of our communities, giving their time, skills, and energy to support those in need. From food banks to emergency services, environmental conservation to youth mentoring, volunteers make a real difference every day. However, many organisations face challenges, from funding shortages to increasing demand, making it harder for volunteers to do their crucial work.

That’s why the government’s Volunteer Inquiry is a vital opportunity for those who volunteer—or who believe in the power of volunteering—to speak up. This inquiry is examining how volunteering can be better supported and sustained, and it needs input from those who know it best: the volunteers themselves.

If you’re a volunteer, a community leader, or someone who believes in the value of giving back, now is the time to share your experiences. What challenges do you face? What support do you need? How can the government make volunteering easier and more rewarding?

Submissions are open now, and your voice matters. Whether you’ve volunteered for decades or just started, your insights can help shape policies that strengthen and expand volunteering across the country.

Make a submission today and ensure the government understands the importance of supporting those who support our communities.
