Celebrate the power of volunteering this National Volunteer Week

National Volunteer Week is Australia’s largest annual celebration of volunteering. In 2025, it runs from 19 to 25 May.

The week is about highlighting the important role of volunteers and encouraging people to give it a go. 

This year’s theme, ‘Connecting Communities’, focuses on the power volunteering has in bringing people together.   

Volunteering is a great way for people to use their time and skills to make a difference in their community. And with so many ways to volunteer, everyone can find something they’re passionate about.

We proudly support National Volunteer Week 2025.
