The National Strategy for Volunteering (2023–2033) is Australia’s ten-year roadmap to make volunteering the heart of Australian communities.
10-year Blueprint
The National Strategy for Volunteering, co-created by stakeholders from across the volunteering ecosystem, provides a blueprint for the next ten years that will enable volunteering in Australia to thrive.
“The National Strategy for Volunteering was designed and will be owned by all of us. It presents our collective vision for a future where volunteering is at the heart of Australian communities.”
There are opportunities for everyone in the volunteering ecosystem to participate and work together for a better future for volunteering.
Action Plan 2024-2027
The National Strategy for Volunteering is currently in its first three-year Action Plan phase, running to mid-2027.
This phase will see the delivery of 22 actions that were codesigned to address priorities identified by the volunteering ecosystem.
This includes establishing new processes to improve recruitment and retention, forming new partnerships, and enhancing the role of volunteer managers.
