This National Volunteer Week asks community to recognise that although volunteers have been forced to adapt during COVID-19 pandemic, their contribution has been as important as ever.


This week, 18-24 May, is National Volunteer Week.

About a third of Australians volunteer their time each year, and there are 5.8 million volunteers throughout the country - at least, that's in an ordinary year.

But with bushfires, floods, and now the Covid-19 pandemic, volunteers have been leaned on like never before.

CEO of Volunteering Australia says volunteers are valuable parts of the Australian community.
