Volunteering Australia is the national peak body for volunteering.

Vision
Volunteering is the heart of Australian communities.

• Where more people volunteer more often.
• Where volunteers feel respected and know their contribution makes a difference.
• Where volunteering is valued and properly considered in policy settings, service design, and strategic investment.
• Where diversity in volunteering is recognised, celebrated, and supported.
• Where people individually and collectively realise their potential for creating thriving communities.
• We share this vision with other members of the volunteering ecosystem.

This vision was co-designed with thousands of people from across Australia during the development of the National Strategy for Volunteering.

Purpose
We believe volunteering empowers people to make a positive impact and leads to more inclusive and flourishing communities.

Mission
We support a thriving volunteering ecosystem in Australia by promoting and advocating for volunteering and providing leadership at a national level.
