National Volunteer Week is Australia’s largest annual celebration of volunteering
This year’s theme, Connecting Communities, highlights the power of volunteering to bring people together and strengthen the social fabric of our nation.
More than 6 million people in Australia volunteer through organisations with countless more contributing informally in their communities – supporting neighbours, lending a hand in crisis and making a difference everyday.
Volunteers are an essential workforce, spanning key sectors including aged and disability care; community welfare; sports and the arts; crisis preparedness, response and recovery; and environmental sustainability and protection.
Join the conversation and celebrate the impact by sharing your stories with #NVW2025
