Settlement Guide: How to participate in Australian life?

Every day, millions of Australians volunteer their time to improve the lives of less fortunate members of our community. Volunteers come from all walks of life and community organisations welcome new members from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The tireless efforts of these helpers and their free contribution to Australian society are celebrated during National Volunteer Week which started on May 20.

From 20–26 May 2019, thousands of events will be held across the country to say thank you to the six million Australians who volunteer their time.

The week-long celebration will include breakfasts, morning teas, and luncheons, as well as open days, award ceremonies, picnics, forums and training sessions.
